Quick reappearance pays off for Meade's Shadow
In Your Shadow and Sean Flanagan jump the last

There was another winner on the Tipperary card for Gigginstown House Stud when 2/1 favourite In Your Shadow took division one of the MansionBet Support Racing Beginners’ Chase.
Noel Meade ’s grey had been in action on Friday evening at Kilbeggan when he’d been in with every chance in a similar contest only to over-jump and come down at the third last.
He showed no ill-effects from the fall, nor the quick reappearance, here as he was able to pop the last in front before picking up well enough to hold Get Smart by a length and a quarter.
Like the previous Gigginstown-owned winner Mind’s Eye, this 6-y-o is a son of Stowaway and should find his level in handicaps in due course.
Winning rider Sean Flanagan said: "He was probably going very easy when he fell at Kilbeggan but I don't know would he have won as the winner won quite impressively. We did nothing with him since Friday.
"He is actually a good jumper and is very careful but was just unlucky when he fell. He was very careful early-on today and it took me a while to get him into a rhythm.
"It was a middling contest but he has done it nicely."
