Review clonmel 19th Feb
< Rock Street (5-2) showed his appreciation for having his sights lowered by lifting the prize for the Powerstown Chase.
Stamina may have been a problem for Robert Tyner's representative when he was third in a Limerick Grade Two over three furlongs further, but he travelled with plenty of enthusiasm on the heels of the leaders here.
Philip Enright sent him on approaching the last and a slick leap sealed a four-and-a-half-length success, with Allez Petit Luis second.
Davy Russell produced Up There (10-1) right on the line to deny What's In Front in the Lisronagh Novice Handicap Chase.
The runner-up only took over himself after jumping the final obstacle and appeared assured of success, but Russell had other ideas and his hard work in the saddle paid off as Up There pounced to get up by a neck.< Itsallaracket put a desperate Folkestone performance behind her in the Clonmel Mares Maiden Hurdle.
Seamus Lynch's 12-1 shot was pulled up when a warm order last time, but relished the switch to timber and taking it up between the last two, she cleared away for an eight-length verdict over Earth Mother
Shane Jackson got a good tune out of Jacks Island in the Ballypatrick Handicap Hurdle.
Jackson dictated terms to suit himself on the 20-1 outsider, who found plenty for pressure after the last to beat Matchbook by two lengths.< River Canon (5-2) confirmed the promise of his Irish debut when successfuly conceding weight all round in the Demense Maiden Hurdle.
Edward O'Grady's French import had been promoted to fourth behind Cousin Vinny at Leopardstown and after travelling well under Andrew McNamara, he took it up at the penultimate flight and stayed on well to pass the post three lengths ahead of Baily Light
The Suir (Ladies) Handicap Hurdle went to 11-4 favourite Top Mark while Willie Mullins newcomer Not For Converting had to pull out all the stops to make a winning debut in the Kilsheelan INH Flat Race as the 2-5 market leader.
