Beggars Rock registers first success for Donoghue A dual previous winner, Beggars Rock scored for the first time since joining trainer Ian Donoghue when staying on best to land the Wexfordraces.ie Handicap Chase. Disappointing of late, the seven-year-old returned to something like his best here what was only his fifth start for his new yard. Tracking the leaders throughout, the 13/2 chance was pushed along in third place entering the straight with two to jump. Coming through to head leader Leave In Secret at the final fence, Beggars Rock stayed on well to post a four-and-a-quarter length success. Winning jockey Kevin Sexton said: "He's been a bit frustrating to say the least. His jumping has always been brilliant and that's probably what won it for him there today. He ran well here with me on his second last run. He disappointed in Galway but that probably didn't suit him with too much hustle and bustle. Dropped back in trip today and they went hard so it suited him. His jumping just kept him in it the whole way. When I was going to the second last and they weren't getting away from me I knew that I had a chance."
