Monbeg Worldwide a third winner for Elliott
Monbeg Worldwide hits the line in Cork

Monbeg Worldwide justified 1/4 favouritism in Cork's bumper but not without a scare.
Luke McGuinness sent him into the lead from flagfall. However, he was ridden in the final quarter of a mile and then headed by Quick Grabim (7/1) a furlong and a half down.
Monbeg Worldwide picked up really well, though, in the final 150 yards to win by half a length from the tenacious runner-up.
This was Gordon Elliott's third winner of the day - the other two came in Punchestown.
Assistant trainer Olly Murphy said: "He's a lovely horse for the future and he'll want a trip. I'm not sure if we will see him much more before he goes jumping hurdles next year.
"He's a fair horse but he wants a truly run race."
