< Alfa Beat made it five wins on the spin with a gutsy effort to land the Guinness Kerry National Handicap Chase at Listowel.

Charles Byrnes' charge was always close to the pace on the final circuit, and went head-to-head with Finger Onthe Pulse at the second last, before striding ahead at the last.

The 6-1 chance stayed on strongly after the final fence to score by three and a half lengths from favourite Dancing Tornado who made a few errors before staying on well close home.

Ruby Walsh was at his strongest when driving home One Cool Tornado (9-2) to beat Casey Top in the Ballygarry House Hotel Novice Hurdle.< The Real Article (2-1) held off the late challenge of Riverstown to land the Intervet/Schering-Plough Maiden Hurdle, while the Seamus Mulvaney Handicap Chase went to Christy Roche's 9-2 chance Clarkey < Clearwater Bay only made his debut last month, but Aidan O'Brien's patience is paying off as the three-year-old made it two wins in three starts by landing the Ladbrokes 1800 777 888 Conditions Race.

Johnny Murtagh was hard at work on the 7-4 favourite as they rounded the home turn, with Icon Dream travelling better just behind.

Clearwater Bay showed a really willing attitude, however, and when push came to shove he kept on well to win by half a length.< Qubuh took advantage of an errant move by Mykonos to land the opening Irish Wire Products EBF Maiden.

Mykonos led for much of the contest but appeared to veer away from the rail close home, allowing Pat Smullen to sneak up the inside on the 10-3 shot and run on well to win by three-quarters of a length.

David Marnane's Maundy Money (14-1) landed the Exchange Inn & Brodericks Bar Handicap, with just a short-head back to Picture Perfect
