< Rohan's Pride ran out a game winner of the McHale Mayo National Handicap Chase at Ballinrobe.

The 10-1 shot's only two previous victories under Rules had come in hunter chases and he was second over the banks course at the Punchestown Festival at the start of the month.

He took the lead off Foildubh here when that rival made a mistake on the final circuit and pulled out all the stops when Leavethelighton and Seefood lunged late, holding the former by a length and three-quarters.< Phantom Prince repelled challengers from the powerhouse stables of Aidan O'Brien and Willie Mullins to land the McHale Coranna Handicap Hurdle.

Having headed tearaway leader Face Value on the run to the penultimate flight, the 6-1 shot was pursued by Mullins' Argentino with the O'Brien-trained Marchese Marconi travelling well, but with not a lot of racing room.

Phantom Prince stuck to his guns, though, and held off Marchese Marconi by a length.

Jessie Harrington and Robbie Power followed up that success when Rock The World came out best in an eventful McHale Fusion 3 Plus Beginners Chase.

A loose horse caused a few casualties early on but Power was up front and out of danger on the 13-8 market leader, who proved 18 lengths too strong for Abbey Lane

Just four went to post for the McHale Fusion 3 Novice Hurdle, and the outsider of the quartet Definite Earl (13-2) made all the running to inflict a length-and-three-quarter defeat on market leader Ibsen

The top-weights fought out the finish of the McHale F5500 Baler Handicap Hurdle, with 9-4 favourite Royal Boru fending off Stay With It by a couple of lengths to atone for a Perth tumble.< The Gatechecker (evens favourite) has taken a little while to get his timber career up and running but made it third-time lucky over obstacles in the McHale Fusion Vario Maiden Hurdle.
