Un Hinged free to come home clear

Veteran Un Hinged came home best in the mile and a quarter apprentice handicap to win by a length for young jockey Colin Keane at Leopardstown.

The 11-year-old gelding was winning on the flat for the fifth time in addition to his four jumps wins.

Stephen McCarthy, assistant trainer to John Coleman, said: “That’s not bad for an 11-year-old.

“Niall McCullagh said last time at Wexford to drop him back in trip and he was spot on.

“He’ll probably go for a race on Cambridgeshire day at the Curragh, another Derrinstown race.

“He’ll probably have a break after the Curragh and go back over fences.”

That was jockey Colin Keane’s third winner. He is the 16-year-old son of trainer Gerry Keane. The apprentices were not allowed to use whips in this race.

Leave You Baby was second at 14/1 and Seavelvet was a short head back in third at 16/1. Badger Or Bust was sent off the 5/1 favourite having been 8/1 in the morning but finished seventh.
