Run For Mahler turns over odds-on jolly Beaten 15 lengths by Murcia over two miles at Listowel in May, Run For Mahler (12/1) turned around that form over the extra half-mile of the Doctor Ivo O'Sullivan Memorial Irish EBF Mares Hurdle at Killarney. The odds-on favourite looked set for victory when moving to the front after two out, at which point Phiilip Enright was rowing along in fourth on his mount, but the Top Of The Hill Syndicate's seven-year-old finished best and led close home to post a half-length verdict. Winning trainer Charles Byrnes said “She’s a good mare. We were hoping for a good run, but after the last day it was just hard to say. “He thought there was no advantage to keeping out, she loves the good ground. “We were happy with her all through the race. She’d be a strong enough stayer and she’s very genuine. “It’s great to get it, they are lucky owners for me. I don’t know what programme there is for her, I’d say she wouldn’t be overly well handicapped either.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
