Sat 24th Sep 2016, 18:00

< De Plotting Shed returned from a summer break with an impressive performance to land the At The Races Hurdle at Navan.

Gordon Elliott's 15-8 joint favourite was ridden confidently by stand-in jockey Keith Donoghue, and after cruising alongside pacesetter Moylisha Time before the last, he charged clear to win by eight and a half lengths.

The Troytown Bar Maiden Hurdle proved a minefield for punters as Our Boy Boru opened his account over timber.

The John Woods-trained 40-1 chance showed plenty of grit under Matthew Bowes to fend off the challenge of 50-1 chance Alabama Boy by a length.< Killdunne was another 40-1 scorer on the card when he ran out a convincing winner of the Emerald Facility Services Beginners Chase.

Jim Gorman's charge had his rivals cooked before the last and Jody McGarvey was almost motionless as he beat Chitu by nine lengths.

Anthony McCann's Wilcos Mo Chara put the Racing Again Wednesday 5th October Handicap Hurdle to bed between the final two flights with an impressive burst.

The 8-1 chance shot into the lead after the second last and quickly built up a commanding advatange under Conor Brassil, eventually coming out a length and three-quarters ahead of the staying-on Come Dance With Me < The Jazz Singer produced a strong late run to land the Brogan Group Handicap Hurdle.

Colm McBratney's 20-1 chance was one of a host of challengers at the second last, but really hit top gear after the final flight under Paul Townend to beat Varene De Vauzelle by a length and a half.

Bryan Cooper timed it right on Empresario (7-1) in the Meath Farm Machinery Handicap Chase, as Matthew Smith's charge built up enough of a lead to hold off the fast finish of Valours Minion

Nina Carberry combined with trainer Noel Meade to get The Rory Story (6-4 favourite) home in front in the Bective Restaurant Flat Race.
