HERMINO AA bounced back to form in some style at Roscommon on Monday, when running out a cosy winner of the Tote.ie Connacht National for Eric McNamara.

Well-beaten on recent runs for the Limerick handler, the Patrick Lynch and Fiona Loftus-owned gelding had attracted support in the three-mile-one contest, going to post 11/1 having been as big as 28/1. Tom Kelly gave the nine-year-old a confident ride, as he led turning for home and asserted over the second last to post a four-and-a-quarter length win over Kings Hill.
