Ragmans has really turned the Corner for Keane Consistent dual-purpose performer Ragmans Corner (5/1) landed the SIS, Supporting Irish Racing Handicap Hurdle at Navan in the hands of 7lb claimer Eoghan Finegan. Placed in all four starts since winning on the Flat here in June, the Kalanisi gelding moved into contention between the final two flights and led after the last to beat Whimsy by two and a half lengths. The six-year-old is trained for the Wet Room Syndicate by Gerry Keane who said: "He has just kept improving all year and I don't know why. He's a lovely little horse and some attitude, so he has.  "We will probably go to Naas now for the two-mile handicap, I used to call it the November Handicap, I think it is in October now. We had planned to go there and he is entered in it anyway. If he gets in, he will probably take his chance.  "He has been an unbelievable horse for us all.  "He has a serious pedigree, but as an individual he wasn't much to look at. I remember when he came to the yard one day, the fella took him out of the box and one of the lads said 'what is he by?' He says 'by Kalanisi' and the lad said to put him back in the box and take him with him! I remember the next morning, when I saw him, I was inclined toagree with him as well!  "It is what is under the bonnet that counts. It is just unbelievable.  "He was third in the big one at Galway(GPT) and then second on the Sunday and he didn't run his race on Sunday because he never travelled. I thought he was going to be tailed off and the next thing he finished second. Whatever it was, the ground being dead, but he just never travelled.  "Eoghan rode as an amateur for us and he won on him as an amateur in Punchestown. I thought with the size of him (Ragmans Corner) the 7lb off would help. Looking at it there, we probably didn't need it!" Additional reporting by Michael Graham
