Critic in command in last

Rock Critic made all for a cosy success in the concluding seven-furlong race at Tipperary.

The 8/11 favourite was asked for an effort, by Pat Smullen, a furlong-and-a-half out and really got motoring in the closing stages.

The Pivotal gelding stretched clear inside the final furlong to record a three-and-a-half length success over Mojito.

The Dermot Weld-trained winner, who scored twice at last year's Galway festival, was making his seasonal debut.
