Review kilbeggan 7th Aug

< Hollywood Law put up a gutsy performance to win the Westmeath Hurdle at Kilbeggan for trainer Declan Leigh, but there was plenty of drama along the way.

The well-fancied Dreadnot was going as well as anything behind the leaders on the final circuit when he fell, and the complexion of the race soon took another turn when hot favourite Lucky At Last came down on the flat.

With the two market leaders out of the race, Andrew Leigh sent Hollywood Law (16-1) into a clear lead and the nine-year-old jumped the last three flights in front and kept on well to score by two lengths.< Hairy Molly ended a long losing streak going back to March 2008 when he took the Hackett's Bookmakers Handicap Chase.

Philip Fenton's 10-year-old (9-1) has never lived up to the promise of his Cheltenham Bumper victory in 2006, but he retains ability and this was a nice pot to win.

Settled in second by Brian O'Connell - riding out his claim - Hairy Molly joined favourite Ah Ya Boy Ya in front three out and kicked away before holding Sarteano by half a length.

The Tom Taaffe-trained Steeltown (5-1) landed a debut victory over jumps in the Betpack Maiden Hurdle under Barry Geraghty.

The five-year-old was sent on a long way out and had favourite Tango Knight in his slipstream over the final two flights, but he knuckled down to the task well and held on by two and a half lengths.< Clu Agus Cail made a gallant attempt to lead all the way in the 'LARCC Cancer Support Centre' Mares Maiden Hurdle, but she was collared close home.

Eddie O'Connell drove Flying Bella up to challenge at the final flight and the James Lambe-trained 10-1 shot edged in front 100 yards out to win by a length.

Christy Roche's Streets Of Gold went into the Kieran Kelly Memorial Beginners Chase on the back of a third in the Midlands National at the track last month and landed odds of 8-11 in solid if unspectacular fashion under Alan Crowe.
