The Tipperary Town EBF Maiden over seven furlongs produced a real upset last evening when 10 to 1 chance Always Rainbows, the outsider of the Kevin Prendergast pair, romped home in the hands of Declan McDonogh from Aidan O'Brien's representative, 2 to 5 chance Bargello.
'Kevin wasn't feeling the best so he stayed at home but I'd say he's a bit better after that,' said stable spokesman Gareth McCann after the gelded son of Rainbows For Life carried the colours of Chryss O'Reilly to a comprehensive victory on his racecourse debut, with stable-companion ElLibab back in third.
Winning Jenny battled on gamely for Fran Flood to upset hot favourite Theseus in the novice hurdle. Winning trainer Francis Flood, said: 'We'll mix it with her and if the ground has a bit of cut she'll run at Galway but more likely Listowel.'
