Good As Hell left clear to score under Hayes

Good As Hell was left clear to take the spoils in the Tipperary Handicap Chase over an extended two miles three furlongs.

Gambled-on Good Bye Milan found plenty for pressure at the head of affairs and was still boxing on racing to the last with Good As Hell attempting to chase him down.

Good Bye Milan got in close, though, and knuckled upon landing to leave the race at the mercy of Good As Hell who was driven out by Brian Hayes.

The pair won by two and three quarter lengths, on handicap debut, at 9/2 from a staying-on Union Park who went off at the same price. Capture The Drama (25/1) finished in third.

The seven-year-old gelding's trainer Philip Fenton said: "It seemed the horse which fell had the advantage and I think we were destined to be second but he (Hayes) had ridden the perfect race. We're glad to take it.

"She might hold her own in this company and she will have one more run as she has been on the go for a while. She was a replacement for a couple of horses James (Moran, owner) lost so is working out nicely."
