Without Limites was an emphatic winner of Listed Kevin McManus Bookmaker Champion (Pro/Am) Flat Race, scoring under Finian Maguire for Liz Doyle and owners the Goliath Syndicate.

Second to Aspen Colorado on his debut at Leopardstown in January, the son of Martaline then easily won a three runner contest at Punchestown.

Sent off the 4/6 favourite today he was sent straight to the front by Maguire.

He extended his advantage with four furlongs to race and came home in his own time.

Newcomer Finula finished forty-nine lengths back in second under Katie Walsh for Eddie Hales.

English raider Chalonnial (7/4 to 6/4 on-course) raced in second but could offer no more on the approach to the straight.

He eventually finished fourteen lengths back in third under Steven Clements for Harry Fry.

Liz Doyle said afterwards: "I think he is very, very good but was nervous coming here today with the support for Harry Fry's horse.

"He is a relentless galloper with a huge, huge engine and he settled better than at Punchestown.

"That's it for him this season and he'll more than likely go hurdling next season."
