The Getaway Star (8/11 fav) was another winner for in-form 7lb claimer Shane Fitzgerald in the Caherconlish Hurdle.

Declan Queally ’s grey headed Ornua before the second-last flight and stayed on well to defeat Benbulben Boy (9/2) by three and a half lengths.

The 6-year-old, a dual bumper winner, had won a maiden hurdle at this venue in May.

Declan Queally junior, assistant to his father, said: "I threw her out in the field for two weeks after Kilbeggan (second to Ruaille Buaille in early June) and pulled her in three weeks ago and she is only riding out a couple of weeks. She goes and wins and that's her fourth win.

"She was only beaten a length in the Graded mares' novice hurdle at Down Royal last November and that race would be her main target running into the winter and we'll go from there.

"I know Shane well from riding in point-to-points, he is a good rider, has ridden a few winners for me and will be busy during Galway."
