For the second time in as many days at the 2017 Galway Festival, Willie Mullins landed the feature event as Riven Light proved much too good in the Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap.

A good novice hurdler, he seems well handicapped in this sphere, even though he went up 2lb for being beaten into third on his Irish Flat debut at the Curragh.

He dropped to an extended mile but showed impressive acceleration to come between horses in the straight, and he saw off Hibou by a length and a half.< Housesofparliament s Flat class shone through as he made it third-time lucky over obstacles in the Colm Quinn BMW Novice Hurdle.

Third in last year's St Leger but beaten by Meri Devie on his jumping bow before struggling in a Grade One, Joseph O'Brien's 11-4 shot is now getting the hang of his new career and stayed on well to dispose of Morgan by a length and three-quarters.< Three Wise Men (7-2) produced a better round of jumping than his chief rivals to claim top honours in the Latin Quarter Beginners Chase.

Joint-favourite All The Answers blundered four out, while his market rival Bamako Moriviere got the second-last wrong, but Three Wise Men was fluent and came home three lengths to the good over Bamako Moriviere.

The Colm Quinn BMW Irish EBF Fillies Maiden is usually an informative affair and Shekiba looked a good prospect in seeing off Moghamarah

The Joe Murphy-trained 9-1 chance got to the front a furlong from home and battled well to score by half a length, with the promise of much more to come.< Cascavelle has left Dermot Weld to join Robbie McNamara since he was last seen in competitive action in November, and the change of scenery clearly agrees with him because he made a victorious comeback in the Caulfield Industrial Irish EBF Maiden at odds of 9-1.

Jockey Billy Lee followed up on 4-1 favourite Serefeli in the Caulfield Industrial Handicap, while Knockmaole Boy took the Caulfieldindustrial.com Handicap.
