Thurles Chases Gone & Inspection

Trainer Jessica Harrington’s recent Group 1-winner Hotazhell has come out of last month’s German success well and is on course for the Irish Champion Stakes next month.

The John Nallen-trained Minella Rockett (7/2) was a last-gasp winner of the TRM Bioactive Energy Boost Handicap for jockey Raeese Holahan, who has enjoyed a successful return from injury in the last few weeks. The three-year-old son of New Bay was a gutsy winner in the Galway Festival, and back up to a mile and a quarter, showed that he has stamina in reserves as he chased down the Aidan O’Brien-trained Port of Spain to get up right on the line in what is a third success in a row.

The Jessica Harrington-trained Wie Wunderbar (7/1) was a gutsy winner of the Harts Group Apprentice Handicap for jockey Keithan Kennedy.
