Co Clare trainer Donie Hassett recorded his fourth winner of the season when his Night Alliance landed the Woodlands House Hotel Handicap Hurdle at Limerick today.

Well ridden by the capable Tom Ryan, who surprisingly was partnering just his first winner of the season, the son of Pierre took up the running entering the straight, before staying on well for an eight lengths win over Man Of Principles

Afterwards Hassett reported “we'll aim Night Alliance at longer distance handicaps as he stays well – the trip was too short for him at Wexford the last day.”
