Dream powers clear to score

Berties Dream proved a tough customer in front as he landed the Cunningham Higgins Mercedes Benz Hurdle at Galway

Paddy Brennan found a willing partner as he stayed on strongly from the last to post an eight-length success over Truckers Delight

"It was a good performance. I don't know where we'll go now - I'll talk to the lads," said trainer Paul Gilligan.

"Paddy gave him a great ride and drove him into every hurdle. It's great to get a winner here. Unfortunately none of the syndicate were here but the main thing is that he's won."
