Review ballinrobe 30th May

< Kilcarry Bridge produced a tremendous effort from the front to land the McHale Mayo National Handicap Chase at Ballinrobe.

Donagh Meyler wasted no time in getting the 8-1 chance at the head of affairs and he never looked back, jumping fluently throughout as better-fancied rivals faltered.< Aranhill Chief was the last to throw down a challenge, but John Ryan's charge would not be denied, winning by a length.< Is She Diesel wrapped up two successes in 24 hours when following up Monday's win with victory in the McHale Pro Glide Mower Range Rated Novice Hurdle.

Sean Flanagan was happy to keep tabs on the pacesetters aboard the Seamus Fahey-trained 7-2 chance, before striking for home at the last.< Dorans River loomed as a danger on the home turn, but Is She Diesel would not be denied, scoring by a length and a quarter.< Penance got up in the final few strides of the McHale F5500 Baler Maiden Hurdle.

Thomas Gibney's 10-1 winner looked to have it all to do behind the strong-travelling Timi Roli approaching the last, but the latter was awkward at that flight and Jonathan Moore found an extra gear on Penance to get up late and score by a length and a half.

Any frustrations Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins had after Timi Roli's defeat would have been exacerbated as Rathvinden failed to reel in the Jessica Harrington-trained, Paddy Kennedy-ridden 7-1 chance Modem in the McHale Fusion 3 Plus Beginners Chase.< Swamp Fox (8-1) just got the better of a thrilling duel with Polar Present to win by a short head in the McHale Coranna Handicap Hurdle for trainer Joseph Murphy and jockey Barry Browne.

Bryan Cooper found another gear aboard Billy Flight in the McHale Fusion Vario Handicap Hurdle, with Noel Meade's 8-1 chance streaking clear after the last to beat Kilganer Queen by five and a half lengths.
