Walking On Glass clear at the last© Photo Healy Racing
Walking On Glass was a comfortable winner of the aptly named Guaranteed Run For Your Money Handicap Hurdle in Sligo.
The Fivers & Tenners Syndicate had few moments worry as the four-year-old gelding improved to close on the leaders after the three out.
He was ridden by Jody McGarvey to take a narrow lead approaching the home bend and drew clear coming to the final flight.
The well backed 4/6 favourite was kept up to his work to score by four and a quarter lengths. Back To Bataan (201/ - 14/1) finished second with Shantelle three parts of a length away in third at 14/1.
Trainer Padraig Roche said: “He's a grand little horse and he won well. Tramore didn't seem to take anything out of him and I'm delighted with that.
“We'll wait and see what the handicapper does but the Tote has those races for syndicate horses and there is one in Bellewstown with a good pot so we might aim him for there.
“We'll keep him going anyway, he's a grand little fun horse. He could probably go back on the Flat as he ran well in Galway from a bad draw. He's tough and hardy, he's small but at least he tries.”
