Exit Poll (6/1) carried topweight to victory in the Kilsaran Handicap Chase.

Never far from the pace under Sean O’Keeffe, the 7-year-old overcame a blunder at the third-last to lead approaching the final fence. From there he kept on well under pressure to beat the 7/2 favourite Ya Boy Ya by two and a quarter lengths.

It was a second success over fences for the winner who had been a creditable second to Ballyoisin at Ballinrobe last month.

Kate Harrington, assistant to winning trainer Jessica Harrington, said: “It was a good performance carrying topweight and he's really got his jumping together. We couldn't be happier with him.

“We'll probably find a race in Listowel for him and he could have a run on the Flat before the end of the year if I get my way.”
