SEAN O’Keeffe got Ad Caelum up close home to win the featured three-mile Winning Post Service Station Handicap Hurdle at Kilbeggan on Friday evening.

Owned and trained by John Ryan, the 8/1 chance was held up at the rear of the field and mounted a challenge before the last where the leader, Armed And Fabulous, fell leaving Ad Caelum to dispute the lead with Dartan who was beaten by a head.
