< Baily Green carried his terrific form over fences into the hurdling sphere as he landed a thrilling renewal of the feature race at Killarney.

Winner of his last three races over the bigger obstacles, Mouse Morris's charge was sent off a 12-1 chance for the KWD Handicap Hurdle and was never far off the pace in the hands of David Casey.

The six-year-old swept past long-time leader Norther Bay at the final flight and set sail for home, but favourite Domination went in hot pursuit and there was only a nose in it at the line.< Count Of Limonade (5-4 favourite) was well beaten in the Anglesey Stakes last time, but produced a gutsy display on his drop into handicap company for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Nursery.

Joseph O'Brien set off in front on his father Aidan's top-weight, who ran on strongly when tackled but was being clawed back in the closing stages and had just a head to spare from Teoirim

Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen notched a double begun by Tandem (2-5 favourite), who followed up his 11-length maiden victory at Galway with a three-length success in the Seamus Weldon www.mowers.ie Race.< Stuccodor (7-2 favourite) had to work harder as he was trapped in a pocket when Hot Bed shot clear in the Tadgh Kelly Carpentry Handicap, and he only just got out in time to deliver a withering challenge that got him home by a head.

John Nicholson's versatile mare Great Oak (10-1), twice a winner over fences, followed up last month's Tramore success on the level by taking the John O'Connor Welding (QR) Race.

Odds-on shot Drive Time a faller when favourite for the Galway Hurdle, hit the front inside the final quarter-mile but was quickly overhauled by Great Oak, who stayed on strongly for Rachael Blackmore to hold Saint Gervais by half a length.

Tommy Carmody picked up another prize for Andrew Tinkler when Seventh Sign (5-1) strode clear to take the Killarney Park & The Ross Hotel Handicap by four and a half lengths under Niall McCullagh.
