< Sweeps Hill looks to have a bright future over fences judged by his success in the Grade Three Faber Audiovisuals Ballybrit Novice Chase at Galway.

Anchored in the rear of the field by David Casey, the 4-1 chance travelled sweetly throughout and after creeping into contention at the last, he came away nicely to beat Regal D'Estruval by three and a half lengths.

Barry Geraghty was in double-winning form, culminating with victory in the SanServ Handicap Hurdle on Capellanus

The 9-2 chance was still well off the pace as the strong-travelling Inspector Clouseau hit the front before the last flight.

Edward O'Grady's charge found plenty up the run-in, however, and he got up in the final furlong to score by a neck.

Geraghty initiated his double when Letter Of Credit proved the best in the CCTV Venue Control Maiden Hurdle after market rival Mount Benbulben fell on the flat.

The departure of the 5-4 favourite allowed Geraghty to come fast and late on Letter Of Credit (2-1), who ran on strongly to beat Ted Dolly by four and three-quarter lengths.< Best Served Cold picked off the two front runners Just For Joe and Laganbank in the home straight to land the Barna Waste Novice Hurdle.

Davy Russell's mount was some way off the duelling leaders approaching the turn for home, but the 8-1 chance found an extra gear in the home straight to win a shade cosily, a length and three-quarters ahead of Just For Joe.< Spring Heeled proved too good for his rivals in the Corrib Oil Sean Cleary Memorial Maiden Hurdle.

Always prominent for Tom Doyle, the 14-1 chance took the lead before the turn for home, and though he wasn't fluent at the last, he still had a length in hand of odds-on favourite Jenari

Doyle completed a double when The Bishop Looney (9-1) battled bravely to land the Renvyle House Hotel Handicap Chase.
