Review DOWNPATRICK 27TH MAR

Eamon Sheehy and amateur Mark Darcy teamed up to capture the Northern Ireland Hotel Federation Handicap Chase at Downpatrick via the consistent Camden West.

Heavily-supported from 6/4 into 1/1 favourite, the eight year-old was always travelling well in behind the leaders and readily settled the issue when given the office after the final fence.

Mona Day made all to secure the Northern Stallions EBF Mares Maiden hurdle, providing 5lb claimer Sean McDermott with his fourth winner in the last ten days.

Trainer Pat Fahy will now aim his charge at next Wednesday's Tattersalls Mares Series final at Fairyhouse following her three-length defeat of Huncheon Siss.

Old Kilminchy justified Michael Hourigan's trip from Limerick when staying on resolutely to capture the Bell's Crossgar Renault Handicap hurdle under the trainer's son Paul.

The six year-old led after three out before going on to deny Treaty Rebel by 2 1/2 lengths, and will now have his attention switched to the larger obstacles.

Jockey Ian Power was hit with an E130 fine for failing to get down to his scheduled weight of 10-2 on Superdante here, being replaced by Ruby Walsh, and his day got worse in the Frank Magee Memorial EBF Beginners chase.

His mount Eternal Night, who had made every yard of the running, appeared set for an easy win when getting in too close to the penultimate fence and paying the penalty.

That left Danaeve to coast home under Barry Cash, a pleasant surprise for his trainer Gerry Keane, who felt his charge would need the outing.
