Review killarney 26th Aug
< Kilcarry Bridge showed there's plenty of life in the old dog yet with a gallant display to land the MSL Cork Mercedes-Benz Handicap Chase at Killarney.
Danny Mullins had the 10-year-old at the head of affairs from the first bend and had pulled clear by the final fence.
John Ryan's 16-1 chance had a slight scare on the run-in when he and rider had to take evasive action from a loose horse heading towrads them, but that was the only worry as he fended off The Winkler by a length.< Peregrine Run got the better of a thrilling finish to the Clifford Ground Care Limited Novice Chase.
In a pulsating finish with three horses jumping the last as one, Peter Fahey's 11-4 chance got the better of Conrad Hastings by half a length, with Rathvinden third.< Robin Des Foret (6-4 favourite) added another victory to his tally in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle, but it could have been very different but for Wonderoftheowrlod's fall at the last.
Willie Mullins' winner was in front despite clouting the second last, but Wonderoftheworld looked to be gaining the advantage before falling at the last, bringing down Cook Islands and leaving Robin Des Foret all alone to score.
Denis O'Regan was aboard Wonderoftheworld and he gained quick compensation when Lasoscar landed the McSweeney Arms Hotel Handicap Hurdle.
Bursting into the lead approaching the last, Liam Cusack's 14-1 chance kept on well to beat Mine Now by three-quarters of a length.
O'Regan's day got even better when he guided Product Of Love to victory in the Malton Beginners Chase.
Alan Fleming's 6-1 chance was always at the head of affairs and though Roconga jumped the last upsides, he could not keep up with Product Of Love, who scored by a length.
Mouse Morris' Balakani (9-1) landed the spoils in the seamusweldon.com Maiden Hurdle under Andrew Ring, while the JOC Metal Fabrication Limited Flat Race went to Dermot Weld's First Figaro (8-1) under Finny Maguire.
