The Hilary McLoughlin-trained Nothing Hectic (14/1) was victorious winner of the finale in Ballinrobe, the Tim Kelly Group Handicap Hurdle, for jockey Philip Enright.

The seven-year-old daughter of Mizzou returned to the same mark that saw her claim victory in August of last year, and she was produced late by Enright to lead within the last 100 yards and run out victorious by half a length.

Speaking after the race, jockey Phillip Enright said: "The instructions were to ride her as I found her, so I just dropped in and crept away and it worked out well.

"Hilary has her horses in great form and was unlucky not to have a double tonight.

"And her partner Martin (Ferris, leading up), I trucked the country with him and it's great to ride a winner for him."
