Review thurles 23rd Feb

Multiple point-to-point winner Carrigeen Lechuga landed her second Thurles success in a fortnight when making every yard in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novice Chase.

Conceding weight to all bar Special Token Dick Lalor's 15-8 second-favourite jumped well throughout under the trainer's daughter, Liz, and kept up a relentless gallop to draw five lengths clear of Ballinahow Lady

The Oliver McKiernan-trained Whatdoyousay was another never to be headed as he took the Horse And Jockey Handicap Chase at odds of 12-1.< King Of Ardcarne and Paddy O Dee tried to challenge after turning in but they both made a mess of the last, leaving Tom Doyle's mount to coast home by seven and a half lengths.< Inis Meain (5-2) gained a deserved first success over obstacles in the Holy Cross Maiden Hurdle.

Beaten a head by Lamb Or Cod when returned to timber earlier in the month after two spins at Dundalk, Denis Hogan's charge survived a bad blunder two out to beat Charming Ways by 11 lengths.< Snow Spell (5-1) got the better of Luke's Benefit and stable companion Buck Breeze in a driving finish to the Prime Beef Handicap Hurdle.

Tom Foley's grey mare finished nearer last than first on her handicap debut at Leopardstown but bounced back to form with a half-length triumph.< Howryafeelin caused a 33-1 upset when staying on best of all through the gruelling conditions to claim the Cashel Maiden Hurdle.

Without a win since scoring between the flags more than five years ago, Barry Murphy's 13-year-old looked an unlikely type on paper but he took it up coming to the last and was kept up to his work to hold fellow outsider Whatever Jacksays three and three-quarter lengths at bay.< Betterthanalright (7-2) lived up to his name with a four-length defeat of Letterlee Star under Paddy Mangan in the Littleton Handicap Hurdle, while the Munster INH Flat Race went to Shotgun Paddy (14-1).
