Curragh based trainer Seamus Lynch saddled the 8/11 favourite Itsallaracket to win The Downpatrick EBF Mares Novice Hurdle under conditional jockey Eoin McCarthy.

Winning trainer Lynch said afterwards, "She won here bumper here in November. She's going the right way and she's getting more settled in her races and her jumping is coming together. The ground was perfect here for her today she wouldn't want it any faster. She will go for the Shannon Spray Hurdle at Limerick in a few weeks time. Eoin [McCarthy] has been with me since he was 12 and he gave her a lovely ride."
