O'Callaghan gets good tune from Ardera Ardera Ru bounced back to form when coming with a well-timed run to claim the BoyleSports Mares Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse. Eoin Doyle's charge had pulled up on her most recent outing at Gowran Park but attracted some support today from 40/1 into 18/1 in the Listed event. Shane O'Callaghan held his mount up out the back in the two-mile-five contest before taking closer order jumping the penultimate fence. The Fame And Glory mare hit the front after the last and galloped on well on the run-in to post a three-and-three-quarter length win over Instit. O'Callaghan said:- “She was brilliant. The plan was to drop in, creep around and try to sneak a bit of black-type. “It's the best she's ever jumped for me, she jumped fantastic everywhere and cruised into it very easily. “Between the fifth and fourth last I actually wanted her to come back to me a bit as I didn't want to get her involved too early. “I ended up committing her probably a little bit too early anyway, going to the last, and she wasn't doing a whole pile when she got to the front. She probably won a bit snugly in the end. “It's very sticky holding ground but she thrives in it, she loves that ground.”
