I Don't Get It (13/2) was a game winner of the Club Lemon Handicap Hurdle for owner/trainer Neill McCluskey.

The nine-year-old, a confimed front-runner, came under a drive at the third-last and the strong-travelling Lakefield Flyer looked a big danger from two out but the winner would not be denied. He responded to Mike O'Connor's urgings to fend off Lakefield Flyer by three parts of a length.

This victory enhanced a good start to the new season for O'Connor who was completing a quick double after Top Speed in the opener.

McCluskey said: "He's a good wee horse. I think it is soft enough, but he goes on any ground - he's ground versatile.

"He's in Downpatrick over fences on Friday night and he may go there."
