Seventh Sign galloped on powerfully down the straight to run out a convincing winner of the 1m6f handicap at Killarney.

Niall McCullagh drove his mount to the front half a mile out and he responded in good style.

The Tommy Carmody-trained Pivotal colt stretched clear of his field two furlongs out and was always in command.

McCullagh could afford to ease up close home to record a four-and-a-half length success on the 5/1 shot.

The winner was completing a hat-trick following wins at Sligo and Ballinrobe last month. Apache Drums proved the one for money in the ring, backed from 9/2 into 7/2 favourite, but could only finish fourth.

"He loves this ground and I'm sure he'll stay two miles. He could be a Cesarewitch horse down the line," said Carmody.

"I'm absolutely delighted the way the horses are running. I couldn't be happier - they are in great form."
