The Gary Murphy-trained debutante Bonnie Long Legs created a favourable impression, battling gamely to deny Colin Bowe's Roze by a length-and-a-half. Having disputed the running throughout, the daughter of Ol' Man River was headed by the smooth-travelling runner-up before rallying to regain the advantage close home. A half-sister to the prolific winners El Bandit and Rouge Trader, she completed a weekend four-year-old double for Murphy, Shane O'Rourke and The Turbine Syndicate, following the impressive victory of Louilood at Portrush 24 hours earlier.

Reigning champion rider Derek O'Connor made a perfect start to the new season when partnering the well-bred newcomer Menelas Colombe to a three-and-a-half length victory. The well-supported favourite was the first runner that O'Connor trained for the Holdens and the E150,000 store is a son of Cokoriko and boasts an impressive pedigree, being a half-brother to the multiple Grade 1 winner Gerri Colombe.

An eventful contest, which included a false start, effectively turned this three-mile race into a four-mile test for most of the field. The Georgie Benson-ridden Fierce Friend, who refused to start and was the only runner not to complete a mile before the race was declared void and rerun, clearly benefited from having less ground to cover than his rivals. Trained by Peter Flood, who recently purchased the winner for his mother Teresa, Fierce Friend will now be aimed at the Farmers' Race.

Ar Aghaidh Leat justified patient tactics under a confident Lee Shanahan ride to score by three lengths for the Ross O'Sullivan yard. This daughter of Shirocco, who was having her fourth start, warmed to her task and was produced to challenge on the long run to the second last fence. The winner will now head for a winners' contest if not sold.

Even money favourite Couldntmakeitup justified his market support to score under Ronan McParland for James Nash. Having plenty of hurdle experience and some placed form between the rails, the Court Cave six-year-old might line up in a winners' contest before returning to the track for a career over fences.

The Liam Gilligan-trained Seventy Eight Team provides local 19-year-old Craughwell native Colm Whyte with a first career success. Ridden in mid-division throughout, the winner travelled and jumped well to share the lead at the penultimate obstacle, staying on well to score by three lengths at the line. The eight-year-old son of Mahler, who has plenty of track experience, will most likely move up to open company.
