Elysian Rock in the colours of Michael O'Flynn, kept the locals happy with a good success in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Beginners Steeplechase at Cork.

The 9/2 co favourite led three out under Martin Ferris and he was going to win from between the last two if safely negotiating the last, which he did before seeing off Spring The Que by two and a half lengths.

Mouse Morris, the winning trainer said: "He came on a lot from Thurles and he never put a foot wrong there. Hopefully he'll win a few more."
