GAELIC Arc (12/1) led a double for John Ryan at Killarney on Friday, when getting off the mark over fences in the feature Boylesports Handicap Chase, and winning €27,000 in the process.

Twice a winner and Grade 2-placed over hurdles, Mark Fleming and Thomas Westropp Bennett’s homebred made all under Sean O’Keeffe and began to extend his advantage from two out. The joint bottom-weight went on to beat Grade 3-winning chaser Dancing On My Own by eight lengths, while three-time Grade 1 winner Flooring Porter was beaten 34 lengths into fifth.
