Ravished (11/4) dictated matters from the front in Kilbeggan's three mile one handicap chase and took the spoils for Mouse Morris and Ger Fox.

Only two horses could lie up with Ravished heading out into the final circuit - Mallards In Flight the 2/1 favourite who tracked him in second and Heavenly Brook

The latter was dropped coming to the second last. Heading into the straight and Fox took a look over his shoulder to see if Mallards In Flight was coming after him. He saw that Paul Carberry had gone for the whip on his mount.

Fox pushed Ravished clear of Mallards In Flight jumping the last and was able to ease down close home as they won by 12 lengths.

Handler Mouse Morris said: "He jumped well today. He wants two and a half miles plus and he'll go on any ground.

"He's a consistent sort and he'll keep going over the summer."

Heavenly Brook tired and was passed for third by Zekarya (8/1). He was beaten 55 lengths though by the winner.
