Final Orders (10/3 fav) has been a hard horse to win with but got his turn in the Reddans Of Bettystown Handicap Hurdle.

Keith Donoghue sat close to to the pace on the six-year-old who took over in front on the run to the second-last. Inforapenny threw down his challenge at the last but the winner found a bit more to see off that one by a length and three quarters. This was a second win in 36 career starts, Flat and jumps, for the Camelot gelding.

Winning trainer Gavin Cromwell said: "He stuck at it well. He's inclined to hit a bit of a flat spot a couple of furlongs out, he got through that and stuck at it well.

"Yes (look for something in Listowel) and he can always go back to the Flat as well.

"It's great to win for a local (CMD) syndicate."
