Boher Call was given a fine front-running ride by Barry Browne to claim the Urlingford Rated Chase at Thurles.

Paul Flynn 's charge jumped well at the head of affairs but was joined and disputed with Zekarya and Knockraha Boss going to he third last in the two-mile two-furlong contest.

Browne played it cool before asking his mount to hit the front again after the second last.

The Indian River gelding kept on well in the closing stages to record a three-and-three-quarter length success over Knockraha Boss, who was attempting to register a quick double for Adrian Maguire and Paul Townend.

The 4/1 winner had been fourth in handicap company at Navan on his most recent outing in January.

"He enjoyed himself. He's around the same mark that he won off before, and the conditions of the race suited him,” said Flynn.

"The trip is perfect as two miles is too short and he doesn't really get 2m4f. He's been operated on for his wind and it worked as he didn't make a noise today.

"I'm not sure what we will do now, and he may even go point-to-pointing next year.. We might give him a break and bring him back for somewhere like Ballinrobe."
