Edward Cawley scooped the biggest prize of the night at Roscommon when Oscar Glory benefited from a patient Philip Enright ride to land the Frank Hannon Memorial Handicap Chase.< Clifton Debut led the field along for much of the contest and was still bang in contention turning for home, but Oscar Glory (5-2) travelled sweetly and took over at the second last, before running on well to beat Jawad < Adajal turned the Oran Handicap Chase into a procession as he sauntered to victory with ease under David Casey.

Charlie Swan's 13-8 favourite was not extended to secure his hat-trick, as he tracked the leaders in the early stages of the race, before easing clear between the last two fences and going on to beat Echo Bob by an eased-down five and a half lengths.< Top Spin showed admirable battling qualities to land the Roscommon Maiden.< Speechmaker and Thank Your Stars looked to be ready to pounce on the turn for home, but Fran Berry kept the front-running 5-1 winner up to his work and he ran on well to beat Speechmaker by a neck.

David Wachman's Leo Gali (5-2) proved too strong for 11-10 favourite O'Bella Ballerina when landing the Come Racing In Roscommon Fillies Maiden under Wayne Lordan.

Though better known as a chaser, Fisher Bridge showed he was still capable on the level when staying on strongly to land the first division of the Connolly's Red Mills Handicap.
