Review CLONMEL 16TH JUN

Tom Hogan notched a double at Clonmel as both Penny Rich and Kylebeg Dancer swooped late to land the spoils.

11-year-old Penny Rich showed that he has lost none of his zest when taking the opening Slievenamon Claiming Race by half a length.

Torcello looked to have made a winning move, when kicking for home before the straight, but Fran Berry produced Penny Rich with a perfectly timed challenge to head the 4/1f close home.

'He boiled over a bit last time. He needs everything to go right and the fast pace suited. We'll find another claimer for him,' said Hogan.

It was a similar story for Kylebeg Dancer, who took the Hyundai Handicap under a strong Robbie Burke drive.

5/2f The Last Stand cruised into the lead turning for home and looked set for success but had no answer when challenged by Kylebeg Dancer inside the final furlong and the filly gained a short-head verdict.

'That's her finished on the Flat. She's still a maiden over hurdles and is a grand mare,' revealed Hogan.

Morning Glory quickened smartly to land the previous contest over ten furlongs, also called the Hyundai Handicap.

Declan McDonogh hit the front entering the straight, on Declan Gillespie's gelding, and he went on again when challenged by Orpen Sunshine a furlong out to secure a two-and-a-half-length victory.

James Lambe, who has done well with his raiding parties to Britain, saddled his first winner on an Irish racecourse since November 2003 when Ragged Jack kept on gamely to land the Avonmore Flavoured Milk Maiden Hurdle.

The favourites never figured as Just Different ran out a 16/1 winner of the Gains Feeds Beginners Chase. He was a first success over jumps for Curragh trainer Enda Kelly.

Ruby Walsh rarely goes home without a winner and Striking Sound provided the Champion with a stylish success in the Gain Feeds Handicap Hurdle.
