Impressive Listowel winner Glowing Account was expected to follow up in the 2m3f bumper but the 4/9 chance finished a well-beaten fourth as Scamall Bawn made a winning debut
Owned by Dr K A Roche-Nagle and Mrs Suzanne Roche-Nagle, the homebred Fame And Glory gelding disputed the lead from early in the home straight and took over at the furlong marker to beat Ballysax Hank by two lengths.
The 11/1 winner was ridden by David Kiely for John and Thomas Kiely.
John Kiely said: "He is a nice horse who is from a very good family. His dam was a sister to Frawley (third in the 2010 Cheltenham Bumper) who did us proud a few years ago. He was a good horse who unfortunately broke down which was a pity.
"This horse took time but he has patient owners and it was worth it. I was hopeful of a good run but it looked a good race. When you go out first time, you have to educate them and we'll give him a chance to get over this."
