Fairymount Lord grabbed victory on the line to give Paul Carberry a double at Ballinrobe this evening.

The grey had travelled well to tackle Our Nana Rose turning for home but an untidy leap at the last put him under pressure.

Adrian Murray 's charge had to get down to work on the run-in and just pipped his rival on the post to earn a head success.

The winner was well backed (from 7/2 in morning into 11/4f) to follow up his success at Wexford 11 days ago.
