Sevi off the mark in last Celebrity Sevi powered clear in the closing stages to break his duck in the concluding maiden at Sligo tonight. Pat Smullen made all on the Peintre Celebre gelding and he kicked for home turning into the straight. Dermot Weld's charge started to motor in the closing stages and the 9/1 shot pulled away in good style for a ten-length success over Sunset Beauty. The winner had played up in the stalls at Roscommon last time when losing all chance with a very tardy start. The winning trainer didn't make the long trip to the north western venue to see his charge.
