Review fairyhouse 26th Apr
< Twinlight landed a major gamble in the Weatherbys Ireland GSB Hurdle at Fairyhouse following a dramatic turnaround at the second-last flight.
Willie Mullins' charge looked to have plenty to do, but the front two Chaperoned and Fearless Falcon both hit the deck and third-placed Dev ls Bit came down in the melee.
Twinlight came out of it all in the lead and Ruby Walsh needed no second invitation on the 5-4 favourite as he won by three lengths.
The trainer was soon back in the winner's enclosure when Lambro (6-1) delivered a late challenge to land the Coolmore NH Sires Ask & Getaway Novice Hurdle.
The always prominent Last Instalment held every chance coming down the straight, but Emmet Mullins swept past on the run-in on Lambro, who held the gallant Mackeys Forge by a short head.< Jack Cool was just pipped on his last run at Aintree and Charles Byrnes's gelding picked up ample compensation by winning a big pot in the www.thetote.com Handicap Hurdle.
Davy Russell's mount (5-1 joint-favourite) was second most of the way and jumped ahead two flights out before running on well to hold Action Master by three-quarters of a length.
There was another tight finish in the valuable Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase, in which Osana looked to have hit the front with a winning challenge at the final fence.
Paul Cashman's eight-year-old Idarah (25-1) was only just behind, however, and he dug deep to claim the prize by a length under Philip Enright.
Noel Meade's grey Another Palm (9-1), ridden by Paul Carberry, fended off Rocco's Hall by three-quarters of a length in the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Handicap Chase.< Salsify (10-1) tackled favourite Viking Splash at the last in the Joseph O'Reilly Memorial Hunters Chase and forged clear to win by three lengths under Richard Harding.
British raider Theatre Guide looked sure to take the Tattersalls Ireland Sales INH Bumper, but he was worn down by Andy Duff on the Paul Nolan-trained Rising Time (16-1).
