Review BALLINROBE 3RD SEP Paul Hourigan partnered his first winner since returning from a troublesome shoulder injury when Discerning Air, trained by his father Michael for Cork based accountant Michael Walsh, won the opening four-year-old Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe's all jumps meeting yesterday .However, Discerning Lady definitely had luck on her side as she was making little impression on Shaiyran when Philip Rothwell's charge cruelly unseated Norman Williamson at the final flight .Co. Wicklow based Philip Rothwell received a measure of compensation for Shaiyran's demise when the locally owned Mayo Magic registered her second course success in the two mile four furlong Handicap Hurdle .Joey Casey piloted Mayo Magic and he went on to complete a double when former pointer Hill Fox made most to score for the Billy Flavin stable in the Handicap Chase . The giant-sized La Colina went to the head of affairs before three out under Neil Mulholland to account for Diablotin by a length in the two and a half mile Maiden Hurdle .Trained by Eamonn Sheehy for Callan businessman John Doheny, La Colina will more than likely make his debut over the larger obstacles at Listowel in over a fortnight's time .The Ted Walsh-trained Bushman's River was despatched to post the 5/4 favourite in the Novice Chase and the former useful hurdler had little difficulty in repelling Bodies Pride by three and a half lengths under his handler's son Ruby .Barry Geraghty was seen at his confident best when his mount Victor Boy did the bare minimum to account for Binneas by two lengths in the two mile Handicap Hurdle . Incidentally, this was Geraghty's initial success for trainer Gerry Keane .
