After winning the opener on Chris's Dream Mark Walsh doubled-up aboard Getoutwhenyoucan in the Christmas Racing Festival Handicap Hurdle.

The Austin Leahy trained eight-year-old has been a great servant to connections, and was recording his seventh career success this afternoon.

Sent off a 6/1 chance, the son of Beneficial raced mainly in second. He improved to dispute the lead from four out and led on the approach to the straight.

He was tackled by the 5/2 favourite Fairymount Boy from two out and he soon came under pressure. However, he pulled out more on the run-in, going on to see off the market leader by half a length.

Andrew Lynch was aboard the runner-up for Michael Hourigan junior, while the John Ryan trained Presenting Mahler (11/2) completed the placings eleven lengths back in third under Danny Mullins.

Leahy, who trains the winner for JP McManus, said afterwards: "Mark was good on him and he'll come back here for another two mile race over Christmas.

"He's a lovely horse to have around the place and anybody can ride him; I'm pleased he won again and that's his seventh win."
