Bula bounces back to land gamble

Top-weight Chebona Bula ran out a convincing winner of the Jossestown Handicap at Clonmel.

Sam James' mount claimed the front-running Philosophers Guest over a furlong from home and soon powered clear.

Eoin Doyle 's charge kept on strongly inside the final furlong to post a five-and-a-half length verdict over Hilarys First

The winner had attracted support from 10/1 this morning and was sent off 4/1 favourite on course.

"He lost his way a little bit and came down the ratings a bit as a result," said Doyle afterwards.

"He'll mix it during the summer over jumps and on the Flat."
