JAMES Motherway sent out the J.P. McManus-owned Uhavemeinstitches to justify 8/11 favourite in the featured Grade 3 Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase. Ridden by Mark Walsh, Uhavemeinstitches made most of the running to beat You Oughta Know by half a length.

Uhavemeinstitches is the third foal of Bluesea Cracker, winner of the 2009 renewal of the race and the 2010 Irish National. Motherway said after the victory: “Bluesea Cracker had a few older foals who unfortunately didn’t set the world on fire, so J.P. gave her back to us during covid. After Uhavemeinstitches, I’ve bred two more, a five-year-old by Wings Of Eagles, who runs shortly in a point-to-point, and another three-year-old by Old Persian, who is entered in the Derby Sale.
