Gamble landed with Mr Right

Mr Right landed a gamble, as he took Denis Byrne Memorial Handicap under Ronan Whelan for Johnny Levins.

Successful at Dundalk and the Curragh earlier in the year, the son of Echo Of Light opened on-course at 6/1 before going off the 11/4 favourite in the colours of owner Derek Healy.

Settled towards rear by Ronan Whelan, he had just two rivals behind him turning into the straight.

He was pushed along on the outer from three furlongs out, but was much closer at the two pole.

He hit the front with over a furlong to race, and kept on gamely to see off Beat The Ballot and Falcao by two necks.

Beat The Ballot was returned at 16/1 under Pat Smullen for Tracey Collins, while Falcao was an 8/1 chance under Robbie Downey for Eddie Lynam.

The front three went two and three parts of a length clear of Mzuri who finished fourth under Wayne Lordan for Sheila Lavery at 20/1.

Johnny Levins said afterwards: "He's improving and is a very big, raw baby. He has the mentality of a three-year-old. We are slowly stepping him up in trip, and his work would suggest that he's a miler.

"He's starting to do things right now, and could be a top end handicapper in time."
