HAVING ridden out his claim at Roscommon earlier in the week, Aidan Kelly landed a big winner at Kilbeggan when partnering Solitary Man to a 14/1 victory in the featured Kilmurray Group Midlands National Handicap Chase.

Trained by Enda Bolger for Mrs Paul Shanahan, Mrs M.V. Magnier, Mrs Justin Carthy and Mrs Ronnie Bartlett, the eight-year-old gradually improved from mid-division to lead before the last in the three mile-one furlong highlight.
