Tim Doyle and son David teamed up to win the 2m3f handicap hurdle at Clonmel on Tuesday with Ned In The Park.

Making all the running, the Glebeland Partnership owned gelding had one and a half lengths in hand at the finish.

David Doyle said: “At home he is a much nicer horse to do things with and in fairness, he has strengthened up too. I got it grand and handy in front and he was able to dictate away. He is such a brilliant jumper and quickened over the last two."

John Patrick Ryan landed the two-mile-seven-furlong handicap hurdle on the same card with 16-1 outsider My Gaffer.

Ridden by Liam McKenna, the Walter O'Connor-owned gelding made all for a one and a quarter length success.

Ryan said: "He came here fit and well and while I know he had 11st 9lb, I took the 5lb off. He is rated 122 over fences. He was up to three miles today and that's his job."

Ryan doubled up in the following two-mile handicap hurdle as another outsider, 33/1 chance Le Diablo, won under JJ Slevin.

Carrying the colours of owner Brendan O'Sullivan, the five-year-old scored easily by six-lengths.

Ryan said: "That's his owner's first horse with me. He has had a good few with Willie Mullins and the reason they gave me this horse, was they thought he was no good!"

Andrew Slattery and Cian Quirke won the two-mile beginners chase with 2-1 joint favourite Royal Hollow.

Owned and bred by Mrs Margaret O'Rourke, the mare kept on well to win by one and a quarter lengths.

Quirke said: "She is a little bit mad! She always attacks but she definitely has a lot more respect for fences. She is a fair mare. I think she is even better than last year and on better ground she'll probably jump better."

Donnacha O'Brien and Gavin Ryan landed the opening 10f fillies maiden at Leopardstown on Wednesday with Eretria.

Owned by Skara Glen Stables, the 5-2 chance won easily by over six lengths. O'Brien reported: “She’s a very nice filly. We always like her last year, just she was kind of big and unfurnished, so we didn't run her. I’ll give her a little bit of time now. Maybe something like the Naas Oaks Trial could fit in nicely."

Ben Coen partnered the Johnny Murtagh trained Asakir to success in the one-mile-two-furlong colts and geldings maiden on the same card.

Sent off 85/40, the Exors of the Late H H Aga Khan owned gelding scored by one-and-a-half lengths.

Aidan O'Brien trained The Lion In Winter to win the Listed Heritage Stakes over a mile. Wayne Lordan rode the 11-10 favourite to a half-length victory.

Joey Sheridan rode Mixed Feelings to win the one-mile fillies auction maiden. Trained by Joseph O'Brien, the Acheson owned 11-10 favourite scored easily by six lengths.

Andrew Slattery teamed up with his son and namesake, to win the concluding seven-furlong handicap with 7/1 chance Exceeding. Owned by the Punchestown Friends Syndicate, the five-year-old prevailed by a short head.

Mouse Morris and Harry Swan won the 2m5f handicap hurdle at Limerick on Thursday with Miss Corby. The 9-2 chance scored by over two lengths.

Cian Quirke partnered the Michael J McDonagh trained Springboard to win the two-mile handicap hurdle. Sent off at 8-1, the winner carried McDonagh's own colours to a one and a quarter length success.

Joey Sheridan rode Star Prospect to win the opening five-furlong juvenile maiden at the Curragh on Sunday. Trained by Joseph O'Brien, the John Oxley owned 9/2 chance won by one and a quarter lengths.

Great Barrier Reef easily landed odds of 4/9f in the six-furlong juvenile maiden for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.

The colt scored by six lengths. O'Brien said: "We always thought he was nice. Obviously, he was doing everything very easily at home. Everything we asked him to do was very effortless. Ryan was very happy with him today and, he would have learned plenty."

Andrew Slattery won the six-furlong handicap with 6/1 chance Bint Majestic Roi. Ridden by son Andrew jnr, the William Slattery owned filly landed the odds by two-and-a-quarter lengths.

Arctic Assassin gave Joey Sheridan a double when landing the concluding one-mile handicap at the Curragh on Sunday. Trained by Joseph O'Brien, the 12-1 chance prevailed by three-quarters of a length.

Liz Lalor trained Crohan Lady to win the opening two-mile mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore on Sunday. Ridden by Michael Kenneally, the James Condon-owned 9/2 chance scored by four lengths.
