Media leads home her market rivals For the second race in-a-row at Ballinrobe, the first three in the market finished in that order, with 6/5 favourite Media Naranja coming out on top in the KPMG Hurdle. A winner at Limerick in March, the Gordon Elliott-trained victor was third in a Fillies' Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham on her most recent outing. Carrying a stone less than market rival Custom Of The Sea, she led from the third under Corey McGivern. Strongly pressed from the second last, she was ridden on the run-in, going on close home to win by two-and-a-quarter lengths in the colours of Bective Stud. A winner on debut at Killarney earlier this month, Custom Of The Sea (5/4) had to settle for second under JJ Slevin for Joseph O'Brien, while Your Honor (11/4) was a neck away in third. "She's a lovely progressive filly to ride and liked the good ground," McGivern said. "She's really tough and stays galloping so I made plenty of use of her and her jumping is very good. She's straightforward and honest and hopefully will keep going in that direction." Additional reporting by Mark Nunan
