Review gowran park 21st Jun
Charlie Swann's Rajik swooped fast and late to grab top honours in the feature Cry Raceday At Gowran Park Handicap.
Held up by 10lb claiming jockey Joseph O'Brien, the consistent four-year-old made steady headway from halfway but still looked to have plenty on his plate when Truckers Delight hit the front over a furlong from home.
However, the 8-1 chance found a new gear deep into the two-mile contest and he bounced clear to score by three lengths.< Cabin Point got the better of Cloone Stream in a thrilling battle for the spoils in the Jack Duggan Memorial Handicap Hurdle.
The Jessica Harrington-trained winner was given a fine ride by Andrew Leigh, who produced the 14-1 chance approaching the final flight.
Market leader Cloone Stream fought hard all the way to the line but finished three quarters of a length in arrears.< Montecchio (6-4) gained a deserved win in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Fourth first time out, Kevin Prendergast's Acclamation colt had since posted two solid seconds at Leopardstown and duly confirmed recent superiority over Boxing Day who could finish only third.
Settled in behind the early leaders, Declan McDonogh's mount led just over a furlong out and ran on strongly to beat Marfach by two and a half lengths.
33-1 outsider Cothrom Na Feinne made a winning return to Flat action in the 28th June Open Fourball At Gowran Park Handicap.
Racing in the colours of Jacqueline Bolger, Desmond McDonogh's inmate made all under Willie Supple and held the late challenge of Keen Look by a length.
Jim Bolger's Ceist Eile was narrowly denied victory when the Tom Hogan-trained Blackwitch Woman got up close home to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Ceist Eile looked to have wrapped it up when going two lengths clear, but 5lb claimer Ben Curtis regalvanised Blackwitch Woman and the 7-1 shot edged the verdict by a neck.
