Ballyoisin leaps into Galway contention
Ballyoisin soars over the last in Killarney

A terrific display of jumping by Ballyoisin sealed Killarney's Grade B handicap chase for Enda Bolger and Jody McGarvey.
The six-year-old son of Presenting was chased home by Devils Bride who couldn't lay a glove on him as he went down by four and three quarter lengths.
The winner, in the JP McManus silks, was a 7/2 chance while the runner-up was 8/1. Mr Fiftyone was seven and a half lengths back in third at 7/1.
Enda Bolger said: "He always threatened to do that and I have a feeling that he is this type of ground horse.
"He travels so well during the winter on soft ground and doesn't help himself and that was the reason he had a few falls too.
"We'll stay kicking on with him now during the summer and the 2m1f chase at Galway is a possibility."
