Theatre Dreams produced a game front-running performance, under Rachael Blackmore, to gain her second win over fences in the two-and-a-half mile handicap chase at Killarney.

The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare saw off all challengers down the straight and found plenty on the run-in to record a two-and-a-quarter length success over Neddyvaughan

The 4/1 favourite Oighear Dubh ran on late to snatch the third spot.

Theatre Dreams had won over this trip on her chase debut at Tipperary last month before finishing third on her handicap debut at Tramore on Sunday.

The winning rider revealed that going left-handed again was a help to her mount:- "It was definitely a good call by Henry running her back so soon and she just likes to go this way and it paid off.

"She is a very intelligent jumper and I was saving a little bit as it's a long straight here and when I asked her to extend, she did it well."
