Michael Hourigan and Adrian Heskin were continuing their good run when winning The Kelly Brothers Sliabh Luachra Handicap Hurdle with Shanballa for owners Golf At Ballyneety Syndicate.

Winning trainer Hourigan said afterwards, "The horses are running well at the moment, this lad won at Listowel last June but he got a touch of a leg but he's back to himself now and we'll probably go back to Listowel with him next."
