Creggs Pipe displayed plenty of heart as she completed a hat-trick in the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Cairn Rouge Stakes, the feature event on a mixed card at Killarney.

Andy Slattery's charge came in for plenty of support on the back of a double at the Curragh and it proved justified as the 11-4 chance made all on her first try at Listed level.

It looked as though Assume may sweep past the front-runner when challenging a furlong out, but the winner kept finding for Declan McDonogh to hold on by a neck.< Boyfriend Brian made it two wins from two starts when landing the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Median Auction Race.

The Ger Lyons-trained juvenile ran out an impressive winner on debut at Bellewstown 10 days ago and after taking it up over a furlong out, the 6-4 favourite kept on well to hold the late charge of Eagle Sprint by three-quarters of a length.

David Wachman got the scoresheet when Hidden Oasis (4-1jt-fav) out-battled Could Should Would to score by three-quarters of a length in the Irish Examiner Handicap.< Trade Marked came in as first reserve and sprang a 16-1 surprise as he came with a powerful late run to take the Dermot O'Leary Memorial Handicap by a length and a quarter from Gun Shoot

The National Hunt action kicked off with the John Buckley Auctioneers Mares Maiden Hurdle and it was Screaming Rose (4-7fav) that landed the odds for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh.

The dual bumper winner was pressed by D'Pinesflyer after hitting the front three out but stuck to her task well to make a successful debut over obstacles with two lengths to spare.

There was drama in the Dermot O'Callaghan Memorial Handicap Hurdle as Conn Job took a heavy fall when coming to challenge at the second-last, leaving Russian Roulette (7-1) to fend off Joy Neville by a couple of lengths.< Verdana Blue (12-1) edged out 9-10 favourite Arbor Des Champs by half a length in a thrilling finish to the Killarney Racegoers Club Mares Flat Race.
