Smooth success for Party Central Market rivals Party Central (4/6 fav) and Jesse Evans were both travelling well behind the leaders entering the final quarter-mile of the Seamus Mulvaney Bookmaker, Crockafotha (QR) Race but it was the market leader who produced the sharper turn of foot under Harry Swan. The talented National Hunt performer quickened to the front over a furlong out and eased clear to account for Jesse Evans by three and a half lengths. It was an eighth win from 13 starts for the daughter of Yeats, trained for Bective Stud by Gordon Elliott. After Fils d'Oudairies' win in the feature at Tipperary, the Cullentra handler was completing an across-the-cards double. Harry Swan remarked: “She broke well enough from the stalls and settled well today. She can be keen the odd time but we went a lovely gallop and it suited her. “I actually couldn’t really pull her up so I suppose all roads lead to Galway now. “She will have options there and can go on any ground. She is a lovely filly to have.” Quotes from Alan Magee
