Down, today (Saturday).

Ridden by Tiernan Power Roche, Tomhaggard, Break the Boundary held off Jubilant for the Colin Bowe/Barry O’Neill team to make a Wexford stables one-two, and Bowe/O’Neill were also runners-up in division one with Duffry Trixs beaten three-quarters of a length by a local first timer named Ballybrittas.
