Stealthy Tom makes it four from five at Killarney

Stealthy Tom is developing into something of a course specialist with this afternoons win in the Listed Kellihers Toyota Handicap Chase being the geldings fourth win at Killarney.

Indeed, only for being brought down when rallying two out on his initial visit to this track, the Enda Bolger trained eight-year-old may well be unbeaten at the picturesque County Kerry venue.

Always travelling nicely under conditional jockey Mark McDonagh, the J.P. McManus owned winner arrived to throw down a strong challenge to leader Mr Saxobeat at the second last. Sit Down Lucy who was just beginning to come under pressure at that point, exited at that fence.

Soon getting the better of Mr Saxobeat, McDonagh skipped clear of that rival from the back of that fence to run out a very easy 10 length winner.

Winning trainer Enda Bolger said: "His jumping was great today, it was slick and fast and Mark's claim was a help.

"He is a grand little horse especially around here and that's his fourth win around here. The Kerry National would have to come into the equation now but it all depends on what is top weight."
