THE action was competitive at Sunday’s Kildorrery meeting at Rockmills Stud and handler John Joe Walsh kept his supporters happy by sending out Rochestown (10/1) to land a taking debut success in the five-year-old geldings’ maiden at the Duhallow Foxhounds-sanctioned fixture.

Maccloud took the 12 runners along as the eventual winner was content to bide his time towards the rear of mid-division under 5lb claimer William Cronin. The Mighty Arc moved into pole position at the third last of the 14 obstacles as the winning son of Mustameet edged ever closer.
