Night a Benefit for the bookmakers

Davy Condon completed a 237/1 double when Benefit Night came back to form with a bang in the Lucan Racing Leinster National Handicap Steeplechase at Naas.

This son of Beneficial, winner of three-in-a-row back in 2007, including twice at Naas, one of those being a Grade 2 novice chase, made all in this three miler and he galloped up the straight with great enthusiasm in his blinkers (a recent addition to him) to easily see off Lurgan .

Danny O'Sullivan handles the eleven-year-old for Mary-Rose Cooney and the Cork trainer said of the 33/1 shot: "That's the first time he's had a light weight like that and he loves it around here. He'll probably go for the Midlands National at Uttoxeter now.

"He has to go left-handed and that's been a problem all along as it limits where he can go. His run in the cross-country last time sweetened him up. He's only had three runs this season and this is his ground.

"He is a tough horse when he gets his own way.

"That'll keep the show on the road for a while!"

Davy Condon had begun the day when scoring on Dermot Weld's Prince Erik .
