THERE was some cracking fare at Monday’s traditional bank holiday meeting in Dawstown, one that was staged under the auspices of the Muskerry Foxhounds, and the Denis Murphy-owned/trained North Tipp (3/1 - 7/2 joint-favourite) lit up the fixture by posting an impressive debut success under Shane Cotter in the first division of the four-year-old geldings’ maiden.

North Tipp, one of five debutants in the race, always took the eye toward the rear of the nine-runner field as Kauto Line and Back The Park vied for supremacy up front.
