Johnny Kilawee springs surprise

Outsider Johnny Kilawee (16/1) took the Supermacs Handicap Hurdle at Ballinrobe, a second winner of the afternoon for jockey John Cullen.

This was a first sucess for the John Nicolson trained five-year-old who will jump a fence in time.

Nicholson said afterwards: "He has a good pedigree and had decent form in bumpers last year. He didn't see out the longer trip last time."
