Review TIPPERARY 19th Jul

In Technicolor was reunited with Davy Russell for the first time since the nine-year-old's only victory over two years ago and they proved a winning combination in the Tote Jackpot Races 3 to 6 Handicap Chase.

Held up towards the rear in the two-and-a-half-mile contest, Arthur Moore's 10-1 shot made a forward move with three to jump and threw down a strong challenge to long-time leader Irish Nation in the straight.

There wasn't much between the pair over the last two obstacles, but In Technicolor stayed on best up the run-in to score by a length and a half.

Favourite Lukie Victor was going well just off the pace when he came to grief just as the race was getting serious.

Invincible Ash gave favourite-backers no cause for alarm as she sauntered away with the five-furlong Castlepark Stud Maiden.

Michael Halford's filly was always close to the pace and she showed ahead with a furlong and a half to run.

Once Johnny Murtagh pressed the button the race was quickly over as Invincible Ash (5-4) stretched clear to beat the running-on Babel by two and a half lengths.

Murtagh tried to make all on favourite Tarrsille in the Mocklershill Stables Nursery as he sought a quick double, and it looked on the cards as he led into the final furlong.

However, the favourite emptied on the run for home and Thecreditcrunchie , who had looked held, stayed on really well under Wayne Lordan to grab the prize in the last 50 yards.

Tommy Stack's 3-1 shot won by three-quarters of a length, and the fast-finishing Look Officer was only a further head away in third.

The nine-furlong Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden went to another Michael Halford inmate, Stairway To Glory .

The 9-2 shot showed a useful turn of foot when shaken up by Rory Cleary a furlong out to sweep past favourite Lizzie Bennett and score by three and a half lengths.
