Pass Hymn got on top close home to prevail in a thrilling finish to the concluding Anglo Printers Handicap Hurdle at Bellewstown this evening. Bluegrass Princess came to head front-runner Oakmont three from home but was closely attended by Pass Hymn and JJ Slevin.

The pair jumped the final flight together and it was Garrett Power's charge who found that bit more close home to record a head victory at odds of 8/1.

J Slevin said: "He tried hard. I thought I was beaten before the third last as I thought David Mullins had given his (Bluegrass Princess) a clever ride.

"Garrett said he was in good form and to ride him prominently. They went very hard in front."
