After taking the feature at Killarney yesterday, John Kiely and Brian Hayes teamed up for another winner today, as Conduct Yourself claimed the Robin Parke Memorial Handicap Hurdle.
A winner of a maiden hurdle on good ground at Tramore in October, the daughter of King's Theatre finished fifth and sixth on her next starts in November.
Making her return to action today, and stepped up to two and a half miles, she was sent off an 8/1 chance (available at 14's this morning).
Settled towards rear, she made some progress into mid-division with over a circuit to go.
She travelled well in fifth as they entered the home straight, and went second after three out.
She was ridden to lead on the approach to the last, and kept on well on the run-in, going on to score by four and a quarter lengths. Ballyadam Brook (20/1), who attempted to make all, finished second under David Splaine for Terence O'Brien, while Itsnothingpersonal (8/1) was five and a half lengths back in third under Barry Geraghty for Edward O'Grady.
The John Joe Walsh trained Monasteradenpauric was sent off the 5/1 favourite and he disappointingly pulled up before three out.
John Kiely said afterwards: "When the horses are in form, that's the way it is and she probably has improved from last year.
"I wasn't expecting her to run that well and thought she'd take a run but Brian gave her an economical ride and it worked out."
