Conor Hoban was seen to good effect on Ebadani in the Download The Free Racing Post Mobile App Handicap at Bellewstown.
The 3lb claimer dictated terms to suit himself on the 11-4 favourite and kept something up his sleeve for when Sweet Cherry and Pivot Bridge challenged.
Michael Halford's consistent gelding stuck to his task and defeated Sweet Cherry by two and a half lengths.< No Fear left his previous form behind to land the Glebe House Stud Nursery Handicap at odds of 13-2.
There were plenty in with chances at the furlong pole, and Zebed Sauanna Belle and No Fear settled down to fight it out, but it was Willie McCreery's youngster who found most to beat Sauanna Belle by a head.
Jockey Robbie Downey doubled up when Calm Bay defied top weight in the Lugher Stables Handicap, careering away in the closing stages to pass the post with three and three-quarter lengths in hand of Blueberry Gal < Havanna Belle atoned for a luckless Sligo run when breaking her duck in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.
Pat Martin's 5-1 chance was never too far away from the pace and showed a good attitude in the closing stages to deny Manny Owens by a length and a quarter.
Tony Martin launched a twin-pronged assault on the Outsource 360 Maiden, but it was the lesser fancied Shemshal (7-1) who claimed the spoils.< Intisaab seemed the most likely winner when taking it up halfway down the straight, but Wayne Lordan got Shemshal into top gear against the rail and he finished best to score by half a length.
The two divisions of the Bet Online At thetote.com Handicap fell to McTaggart (13-2) and Hilary (7-1), while the CKS Tickets (Q.R.) Race was claimed by the Willie Mullins-trained Lucky Bridle who collared Orgilgo Bay at the top of the straight before stretching clear.
