Feeling The Love delivers in Tipperary

Punters weren't Feeling The Love however, Jessica Harrington's mare was a good winner of the Walter Hennessy Auctioneer, Valuer and Estate Agent MIPAV TRV MCEI Mares Beginners Steeplechase in Tipperary.

She went on from Slainte And Thanks upon touching down two out, however, that rival rallied and Make My Heart Fly also moved into contention.

A good jump at the last saw Feeling The Love land full of running and she drew two and a half lengths clear of well backed 4/5 favourite Make My Heart Fly at the line.

Jody McGarvey 's mount Feeling The Love was very easy to back from 5/4 in the morning out to an SP of 3/1.

Slainte And Thanks could give no more in third, a further 12 lengths down.

JP McManus' racing manager Frank Berry said: “The bit of jumping experience stood to her and it’s great to win a race over fences with her.

"As long as the ground stays good she’ll keep going over the summer.”
