Tesseracht and Geraghty win a thriller
Tesseracht, near side, looms large at the last

Joseph O'Brien's Tesseracht came out on the right side of a driving finish to the two and a half mile handicap chase in Wexford.
Barry Geraghty guided him up on the outside of Don Vincenzo at the last as Full Cry held every chance on the inner as well.
Don Vincenzo was soon passed by the other two horses and weakened in third on the run-in.
Tesseracht was ridden by Geraghty as the pair were fought all the way to the line by Full Cry and Andrew Lynch.
It was Tesseracht who got the verdict by a short head at 11/2 from the 8/1 chance Full Cry.
Don Vincenzo (10/1) passed the line six lengths back.
Barry Geraghty said: "His jumping is sloppy. He is a horse that makes plenty of mistakes, he did in Galway the last day and again today.
"He did battle well though, and jumped the last two well. We were all out to win and it was a nice pot to get.
"He needs to improve his jumping no matter where he goes. He is more a lad for the summer than the winter."
