Lilly The Lioness, second left, toughs it out in Killarney

< Lilly The Lioness showed tremendous battling qualities to land the feature race at Killarney, the Bourn Vincent Memorial Handicap Chase.
A winner over fences at Wexford and on the Flat at Tipperary recent, Garrett Power's 7-1 chance was one of a line of five horses with claims jumping the last.
Jack Kennedy found a very willing partner in the closing stages, as Lilly The Lioness found plenty to beat Marvellous Moment by half a length.< Kilcrea caused something of an upset when making all in the MC Group Handicap Chase.
Making all under Philip Enright, Jimmy Mangan's 14-1 chance had Na Trachtalai Abu for company at the last, but found plenty up the run-in to score by half a length.< Mr Ormsby ran out a convincing winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Sheila Lavery's 13-8 chance was one of a line of horses with claims at the two-furlong pole, but he bounded clear under Ronan Whelan's urgings close home, beating odds-on favourite Sean O'Casey by two lengths.
Leigh Roche's enterprising ride gave Ruler Of France the victory in the Celtic Steps The Show At Killarney Racecourse Rated Race.
The Paddy Twomey-trained 11-2 chance was out of luck here on Monday, but was miles clear from early on and though Mr Right rapidly closed the gap in the closing stages, Ruler Of France had done just enough, winning by a short head.
Veteran jumps campaigner Hidden Cyclone made it two wins from two Flat starts with victory in the McSweeney Arms Hotel (QR) Race.< Jocular built up a big early lead, but Patrick Mullins did not panic on Shark Hanlon 's 9-2 chance and swept ahead over a furlong out, before fending off odds-on favourite Affinisea and Katie Walsh by a short head.
Johnny Murtagh's Sister Blandina (5-2 favourite) made it three wins from four starts in the International Hotel Killarney Handicap under Denis Linehan.
