In-form duo Joseph O'Brien and Davy Russell combined for a win with 7/4 favourite Dawn In The Park in the BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Maiden Hurdle.

The Gigginstown House Stud-owned Walk In The Park mare made her way 'over the road' from O'Brien's nearby Piltown base and she was never far away.

She drifted away to the stand's rail from before the last and with that to guide her home she galloped on for a one and a quarter length and three parts of a length win over Theatre Dreams and Earthly Reason (100/1).

O'Brien also saddled the fourth home, Oath Breaker

In the Gigginstown silks like the winner, Statistical (Bryan Cooper up, 9/1) finished tenth.

Joseph O'Brien said: "Davy gave her a great ride. She had been running well and didn't have to improve a whole lot. She's a nice mare and jumped well. That's her biggest asset.

"We'll see what mark the handicapper gives her, and she'll keep going over the summer."
