Review down royal 1st Sep
< Rashaan took his Down Royal record to three wins from as many starts with a gritty display in the Kerry Foods Hurdle.
There was some concerns about the favourite's abililty to see out the extended three miles and those who took the even-money will have been worried when Sean Flanagan started to push him along some way from home.
But Colin Kidd's grand campaigner kept finding and challenged the long-time leader Wakea after jumping the final flight before getting the verdict by a short head.< Bosco Di Alco s (8-1) only previous win heading into the Tayto Group Ltd. Maiden Hurdle came in a bumper at this venue but he obviously enjoys the Northern air because he proved too strong in the Tayto Group Ltd. Maiden Hurdle.
Flanagan produced Liz Doyle's charge with his challenge approaching the last and he saw off Creadan Grae by four and three-quarter lengths.
Ted and Ruby Walsh teamed up successfully to land the Molson Coors N.I. 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle with Minnie Dahill
Having settled towards the rear, the 7-1 chance made eyecatching headway to hit the front after the second-last and stayed on well to account for Vision D'Ete by three and a half lengths.< Dixie Lee was highly tried in NH Flat races and looks to have a decent future over obstacles judging by her decisive victory in the Allied Bakeries Mares Maiden Hurdle.
The 4-1 shot came with her run after two out and she jumped the last big and bold en route to a two-length defeat of the front-running Delayed Eloquence
Winning trainer Dermot McLoughlin followed up courtesy of Uptake in the Hovis Handicap Hurdle, with the 10-1 chance beating Sir Ector by two and a half lengths.< Sierra Law (15-2) broke his jumping duck in the Linden Foods Handicap Hurdle, while 1-3 favourite True Self did what was expected of her in winning the Dale Farm Dromona Mares Flat Race with a little up her sleeve.
