Dunany makes his Point in good style at Bellewstown Dunany Point made all and jumped well to land a gamble in the Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle by a decisive three lengths. He was available at fancy prices in the morning and tumbled down to 5/1 on the off. Kieren Buckley enjoyed a healthy cushion for most of the race and swept home by three lengths from Fremantle Doctor, 11/4 favourite. Tankardstown Diva (10/3) was another four lengths away in third. Conor Maxwell said: "There was loads to like about it considering we were hoping he would do something like that in Limerick the other day (seventh on Thursday). He never seemed to raise a gallop in Limerick the other day. "Bit of both (better ground and tactics), I'd say. Kieren said he hit the one well-watered patch in Limerick and he just came back underneath him and stopped jumping. We were scratching our heads, brought him home and rode him out yesterday myself, and he was bucking and squealing. Threw him out in the field this morning and he galloped around the place. "We are a mile down the road, so we had to come and take our chance. "Kieren said what was I thinking and I said pop him out. If something goes (on), they go, but make up his mind. We know he jumps well, so let him see his hurdles and attack them. It worked out well. "It is our back garden, so it is great. It is my first winner here as a trainer, I had plenty of luck here as a rider. "No plans really. I had Limerick in mind for a while, waiting for it. Thought we had him fairly right to run well and he was very disappointing. This was an extra race put on and I put him in. We'll see what the handicapper does."
