Chiricahua made all in the extended mile and six race that closed Killarney's card and made it three winners on the evening for Colin Keane.

The pair weren't troubled at the business end as they kept forging on to take the honours by two and a quarter lengths at an easy to back 4/1 for trainer Ger Lyons. Away To Sea came home second at 25/1 by half a length from Hook Up the heavily backed 13/8 favourite.

Assistant trainer Shane Lyons said: "He is a lovely horse, isn't ground-dependent and was third at Dundalk the last day and has won on that easy ground there.

"He just gallops and Colin was very good on him and he will turn out to be a very good fun horse for his American owners."
