Denis Hickey's Ballistraw got back to his winning ways after he landed the Tetratema Perpetual Cup Hunters Chase at odds of 11/2 in the hands of the promising Andrew Doyle.

Doyle was disputing the lead from four out and was left in the lead at two out when Castleview Mills and Declan Queally crashed out.

The pair kept on well from the last for a length win over Dusty Doolan

Winning trainer Hickey said afterwards: "Gowran has being a lucky place to him, he won this race four years ago and the Red Mills two years ago."

"We will stay hunter chasing and all going well we'll aim for Fairyhouse and then Punchestown."
