All The Answers (11/4 fav) built on a nice comeback run at Killarney to win the Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase by a decisive six lengths on the final day of the Galway Festival.
It was a third win from six visits to Ballybrit for the Kayf Tara eight-year-old, who had won two hurdle races at the track in 2016.
Here, he registered a fifth career success in all, and it was the biggest prize he has landed thus far.
A second winner of the afternoon for the season’s leading N.H. claiming rider Darragh O’Keeffe, and his twentieth winner of the season, he moved into second travelling notably well on the run towards the home straight behind the driven-along leader Rock The World
O’Keeffe could afford a couple of looks behind him before sending on Joseph O’Brien’s winner, with Lucky Pat (10/1) staying on for second and Rock The World (16/1) back in third at the line.
Winning owner J.P.McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry said: “He did it grand, jumped well and seemed to like the drop of rain that came. He ran well at Killarney and has come on from that.
“It’s nice to get a good prize out of him, and hopefully we can find something similar maybe in Listowel.
"You would be delighted with the way he jumped and he got a grand ride from Darragh.”
