Aa Bee See (13/2) kept up the good work for the

Madden family after the success of Shake The Bucket at the Galway festival last week when gaining the day in the concluding Rugby Race Day 16th August Handicap at Sligo.

Tom Madden was aboard the J P McManus-owned Holy Roman Emperor gelding for his father Niall, and he kept on well inside the final furlong to keep outsider Larksville at bay by three lengths.

Favourite Banff (5/4) could manage only third, a length and a quarter back. Reddot Dancer and Eight And Bob failed by some way to come up to expectations, finishing second last and last on the testing ground.

"I'm delighted for Tom as he's had a bit of a quiet spell. He gave him a great ride so it's lovely," said Madden senior.

"The last day the ground was too quick for him. He ran a cracker previous to that in Wexford.

"We'll look for something similar and he will go hurdling."
