Division two of the Easyfix Equine Maiden Hurdle saw odds-on favourite Run For Oscar (8/11 into 4/7) deliver for Charles Byrnes and Phillip Enright at Fairyhouse.

Owned and bred by the Top Of The Hill Syndicate of Solwhit fame, Run For Oscar beat Make Good by two lengths.

The latter made a mistake at the last, which was no help at all to him, but Enright looked happy at that stage that his mount was well up to justifying his market position.

“We probably fell into the easier division but we’ll take it,” said Byrnes.

"We’ll probably go handicapping now as I don’t think he’s good enough for novices.”
