Jockey Sean Flanagan was impressed with Art Of Security after he scooped 18,450 euro for winning at Ballinrobe on Tuesday evening.

Art Of Security quickened clear before the last flight and ended up winning by 11 lengths from Bargy Lady

And Flanagan said: “He had a good run on the Flat the last day and he got into a nice rhythm.

“He wants nice ground and it’s beautiful out there.

“He jumped well and finished out his race well enough.”
