The Declan Queally-trained Rightfolksplease (2/1) was a tough winner of the BoyleSports Handicap Chase for rider Kevin Healy. He was a good second on his latest start but off a mark of 96, with rider Healy taking a further seven pounds off that, may have been the difference as he ran out a half-length winner over the Henry de Bromhead-trained Lady Doyenne.

Speaking after the race, trainer Declan Queally said: "That was good. On his run the last day, with the winner following up last night, he looked thrown in. The biggest worry was it being a bit tactical but he had no weight on his back, so even if it turned into a sprint he was going to be able to sprint a bit quicker. Kevin (Healy) is after maturing a lot as a rider. He has done well in the last couple of weeks. He's prepared to listen and he probably has a good future ahead of him."
