Review TIPPERARY 5th Oct

< Psalm wasn't beaten far in the Matron Stakes and took full advantage of the ease in grade by justifying 15-8 favouritism in the Group Three Coolmore Stud Home Of Champions Concorde Stakes.< Jumbajukiba looked to have the majority of the field on the stretch as they turned for home, but Sean Levey was confident on the market leader and she duly responded to his urgings to go past at the furlong pole.

The winning distance of eight lengths could have been extended.< Senor Benny hadn't won since landing the Listed Longfield Stables Abergwaun Stakes twelve months ago, but he repeated the feat in decent style.

Tracking early pace-setter Nubar Lady Chris Geoghegan's mount was in an ideal position to pounce and after hitting the front two furlongs out, he stayed on well to beat Aine by two lengths.< Megans Joy regained the winning thread in the Ballykisteen Hotel & Golf Resort Tipperary Hurdle.

Colm Murphy's mare led between the final two flights and kept on well to beat Larkwing by a length and three-quarters.

The Dermot Weld-trained Vital Plot completed a hat-trick of timber victories in the Grade Three Tipperary Supporters Club Joe Mac Novice Hurdle.< No Full held an advantage at the second-last flight, but Ruby Walsh's mount battled past into the lead.

Depite a far from fluent jump at the last obstacle, the 7-4 favourite regathered himself and recorded a three-length triumph.< Baltiman put in a fine front-running display in the Grade Three O'Dwyer Steel Like-A-Butterfly Novice Chase.

Susan Finn's charge made all to win on his seasonal bow at Listowel and produced another excellent round of jumping to run his rivals ragged.

The patiently-ridden market Leader Footy Facts bustled up the leader on the home bend, but the 9-2 chance responded admirably to pull away and score by four lengths.

Aidan O'Brien's Freemantle made light work of opening his acccount at the third attempt in the High Chaparral EBF Maiden, scoring readily by ten lengths.
