< Drive Time produced an accomplished performance to return to winning ways in the M.J. Carroll ARRO Handicap Hurdle at Listowel.

Willie Mullins' charge fell early in the Galway Hurdle, injuring Ruby Walsh in the process, but the jockey had no such worries here and stretched clear turning for home.< Bangonform gave chase up the home straight, but Drive Time was too strong, and the 5-4 favourite went on to score by three and three-quarter lengths.

Mullins and Walsh made it a double on the card when Twinlight ran out a bloodless winner of the first division of the Allman Contracts Limited Beginners Chase.

The 8-15 favourite was always at the head of affairs and was never asked to get out of first gear before recording an 18-length success over Castle Wings

Walsh's bid for a treble was foiled in division two of the beginners chase as Mouse Morris' 6-1 chance Miradane shaded the verdict over Walsh's mount Benefficient by half a length under Martin Ferris.

Enda Bolger's Love Rory produced a gutsy display to land the Lynch's Bakery Maiden Hurdle.

The 8-1 chance was making his debut under Rules after two outings between the flags, and came out on top in a protracted battle with Enchanted Forest to win by half a length.< Missunited continued her impressive sequence of victories when taking the Listowel Races Supporters Club Slan Abhaile (QR) Race under Niall Kelly.

Twice a winner on the level and once over timber recently, Michael Winters' 11-8 favourite made it four wins on the spin with a battling length and three-quarters victory over Saint Gervais < Fair Dilemma was made to work hard to justify 5-4 favouritism in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle.

Jimmy Mangan's charge only got on top on the run-in under Harley Dunne, but eventually prevailed by half a length from Marshim
