< Supreme Vinnie backed up his recent maiden-breaker over timber by following up in the Carmel Fay Memorial Handicap Hurdle at Kilbeggan.

The seven-year-old took eight goes to land his first hurdling success but did so with the minimum of fuss here at the start of month, and was sent off the 7-2 joint-favourite back in handicap company.

Rachael Blackmore rode a confident race and took closer order approaching the home turn before repelling the renewed challenge of the front-running Kylecrue by a length and three-quarters.

Blackmore followed up when showing excellent strength and determination to get 100-30 favourite Glenwood For Ever up in the last stride in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Chase.< Tiger Roll (7-4 favourite) continued his resurgence with success in the Midlands National Ladies Day July 15th Novice Chase.

The 2014 Triumph Hurdle hero lost his way over the smaller obstacles but struck at the first time of asking in this sphere at Ballinrobe and followed that up by accounting for Valyssa Monterg by three and a half lengths.< Red Giant registered his second victory in the space of less than a week in the Mullingar & North Westmeath Vintners Association Novice Hurdle.

Noel Meade's gelding needed a reminder from Jonathan Moore some way out but he responded well to pressure and the further he went, the better he went en route to a length-and-three-quarter defeat of fellow 15-8 joint-favourite Consharon Boy < Long Journey Home broke his NH duck from the front in the Follow Kilbeggan Races On Facebook Maiden Hurdle.

The 7-4 favourite and Dove Mountain were clear of the remainder from some way out and once he fought off the latter's attention, Rodger Sweeney's eight-year-old kept going to hold the staying-on William Du Berlais by five lengths.

A 184-day absence proved no hindrance to Rolling Revenge (7-2 favourite) in the Hurley Family Handicap Hurdle, with Mark Walsh producing him on the run to the final flight before beating Cadawill by a length and three-quarters.
