Review kilbeggan 2nd Sep

Sean Doyle and J J Slevin successfully teamed up for the second time this week when Crosshue Boy came out on top in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Kilbeggan.

The six-year-old didn't fire on his first crack at handicap company, but the assessor took no chances and left him on the same mark.

The 6-1 chance went to the front with Swantykay on the turn for home and responded well to Slevin's urgings, crossing the line with three and a half lengths in hand of the staying-on Draycott Place < Heist (13-2) got the verdict in a thrilling finish to the Kilbeggan Patrons Club Handicap Chase.

Pat Griffin's charge went head to head with Down Under after the last and flashed past the post a short head to the good.

L'Attesa (10-1) ground out victory in the Like Kilbeggan Races On Facebook Handicap Hurdle.

Shane Nolan's Downpatrick winner was found out by a 6lb rise back at the same venue last time, but the handicapper loosened his group by way of 1lb and it was enough for him to see off The Black Russian by three-quarters of a length, although he had to survive a stewards' inquiry.

Donagh Meyler brought Oighear Dubh with a well-timed challenge to land the Kilbeggan Opportunity Maiden Hurdle.

The 2-1 favourite improved to touch down over the last in a share of the lead with Antiphony and found more after it to score by two and a half lengths.

Perennial bridesmaid Tajseer (4-1) injected some pace into the Pat Doyle Memorial Maiden Hurdle after clearing two out and the move paid dividends because he was still a length ahead of Field Robin passing the post.< New Kid In Town is far from the brightest star in the Willie Mullins stable but he has an engine and Katie O'Farrell was seen to good effect on him as he ran out a convincing winner of the Midland Breeders Supporting Kilbeggan Beginners Chase at odds of 7-2.
