Your Busy bounced back to form, as he made all to landed the McSweeney Arms Hotel Killarney National Handicap Chase, scoring under David Casey for trainer/owner James Nash.
The eleven-year-old gelding finished a well-beaten eighth to Chartreux on his last start at the Punchestown Festival, and he was sent off at 16/1 this evening.
Having led from flag fall, the son of Anshan was pushed along entering the straight, and he kept on finding more, as he went on to score by four lengths. Love Rory ran a fine race to finished second at 11/2 under Adrian Heskin for Enda Bolger, while Usuel Smurfer was a further two and a half lengths back in third under Danny Mullins for ''Shark' Hanlon at 4/1. She's Got Grit was sent off the 7/2 favourite under Paul Townend for Terence O'Brien, but she could only manage fourth.
James Nash said afterwards: "Every time we get into the red he keeps getting us out of trouble.
"I very nearly didn't run him due to the watering and the ground changing (went yielding to soft after the fourth), but he loves this place and he has won here before and has been placed here.
"David gave him a very positive ride. We dropped him in Punchestown but now its seems that was the wrong thing to have done.
"He has won twice at Galway and we might get him into the bottom of the Galway Plate now.
"He will have one run over hurdles before then, and if he doesn't get into the Plate, he will run in the Galway Blazers."
