Useful hurdler Sir Allen (14/1) recorded his second win on the level when leading home a 1-3 for trainer Andy Slattery in Listowel's concluding Treo Eile Retraining Ireland's Racehorses Handicap.

Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, the Territories gelding moved into contention turning for home and led over a furlong out to beat Tudor Manor by two-and-a-half lengths with stablemate Plains Indian staying on for a place.

Trainer Slattery said of the Eight Star Syndicate's winner: "He was a good hurdler last year but then had three-year-old-hurdler 'syndrome' although is back to himself now. He had a good run up north the last day and we took him out twice recently as the ground was too quick but it is lovely here. 

"Two of his owners travelled down last night from Armagh and are staying tonight so this is great. We might go for a handicap hurdle at Tipperary on Super Sunday next month."
