YOU Oughta Know led home a 1-2 for Willie Mullins in the feature four-runner Pat Farrell Memorial Rated Novice Chase of €25,000.

Reversing recent course form with War Correspondent, the Luke McMahon-owned victor made all and jumped well throughout under Paul Townend. Sent to post the 11/10 favourite, the Beat Hollow seven-year-old travelled best approaching the straight and soon extended his advantage, ultimately easing to a 23-length win.

“He really enjoyed his jumping today and I think that’s what won it for him,” Mullins reflected. “I suppose we will be looking towards Listowel, a two-mile or two-and-a-half-mile race, if he recovers well enough from this.”

Made The Frame

Hit The Frame (13/2) was another to dominate from the front, with this John Flavin-trained six-year-old making the breakthrough in the concluding Racing Again October 26th & 27th Handicap Chase.

Soon in a clear lead under Sean Flanagan, the 82-rated bay saw his advantage reduced from three out but kept finding for pressure in the straight. While not fluent over the last, he comfortably held off the late effort of Seventy Eight Team (12/1 from 33s early), with a length and a quarter between them at the line.

“He deserved that. He ran a cracker in Roscommon and ran a good race the last day where we probably didn’t make enough use of him,” Flavin disclosed. “He is just a very, very good jumper when he gets into that rhythm. I said to Sean to just use his jumping and his jumping won it for him.

“The owners (the Hit The Road Syndicate) are local to me in Tramore and there is a couple of Portlaw men involved too.”

LISTOWEL is also on the agenda for Kieran Ryan’s Kool One, after he justified 8/11 favouritism in the opening Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle. Tracking the leaders and not fluent at times under Ivan Ryan in this four-year-old only contest, the recent Roscommon victor improved into a share of the lead before three out.

Travelling best and gaining an outright advantage approaching the straight, he was ridden before the last and extended his advantage on the run-in, coming home four lengths clear of Harpy Eagle (2/1).

“On paper he was entitled to win it, but he still had to go and do it,” winning trainer Conor Maxwell commented.

“The Lartigue has been on the cards for a long time, it’s something we picked out after Cheltenham and it’s all systems go for that.”

Another market leader obliged in the Brendan Cullimore Electrical Mares Maiden Hurdle, with Jetaway Nana (2/1 favourite) leading home 12 rivals under Eoin Staples in this three-mile heat.

In a share of the lead with Ar Aghaidh after two out, the Cian Collins-trained victor edged to the front on the run-in and ultimately stayed on best, coming home a length and three quarters to the good.

“She is a difficult ride and I think the run on Monday (fourth at Ballinrobe) probably just took the freshness out of her. She was easier to handle today and got the job done, thank God,” Collins explained.

“She came from the Doyle’s and Mark Hatton, who is a friend of Eamonn Doyle, owns her. She picked up a €7,500 ITBA bonus today and it’s a great touch.”

THE first part of a quick 59/1 double for John Shinnick, Paul’s Dream made the breakthrough in the visitwexford.ie Handicap Hurdle.

Second over the course and distance in July and a beaten favourite on her last two starts, the Tony Mullins-trained six-year-old was returned a 5/1 chance in the colours of the Shoot A Hoop Syndicate.

Tracking the leaders and improving to the front shortly after three out, the Mahler bay skipped clear approaching the next and ultimately eased to a five-and-a-half length win.

“She was there when I wanted her all the way, it was very simple,” the winning rider enthused. “I gave her the best possible chance to go and do it today and she was good and professional, so I’m delighted.”

Another for Listowel

Shinnick adopted similarly positive tactics on Stone Forest, as he completed his brace on this Eoin Doyle-trained four-year-old in the Wexford Heritage Trails Handicap Hurdle.

A close third over the course and distance earlier in the month, the 9/1 chance improved into a share of the lead early on the final circuit and gained an outright advantage before three out.

Pushed on approaching the straight, he found plenty when ridden on the run-in and came home two-lengths clear of Corkbeg.

“The last day some of the hurdles were taken out of the race and it didn’t help him, but he stayed on well,” Doyle reflected. “Johnny sent him on good and early, but he kept pulling out more and stayed well. He is only a four-year-old and still kind of learning.

“He might go to Listowel now, his owners (Gerry and Christina Hughes) like to go there.”
