Power Roche earns plaudits on Give Him A Chance Philip Rothwell and Tiernan Power Roche combined to land the Joe Quinn Transport Longford Handicap Hurdle with Give Him A Chance at Kilbeggan. The 9/2 chance benefitted from a patient ride by Power Roche making steady progress on the final circuit to lead just before the final flight and drew clear on the run-in to beat Ballykinlar by five lengths. Loup De Tallane was a further 15 lengths back in third. Rothwell said, “I’m delighted. He got a dirty fall (on his previous run) in Limerick and Tiernan gave him some ride today. They went some gallop and he was flat out, but he was patient. “He had three behind going out on the final circuit and gave him a brilliant ride.”
