SHANE JACKSON, one of the rising young stars of Irish racing, gave Dark Bolero a copybook drive to land the featured Guinness Handicap Hurdle at Listowel yesterday.

Outsider Dingle Belle proved best of Jessica Harrington’s three runners to land the feature event on the second day of the Listowel Festival, the Listowel Races Supporters Club Lartigue Hurdle.

Eugene O’Sullivan believes there could be one more big race in Head Waiter before the handicapper takes his toll, and he would like it to be in tomorrow’s Listowel Races Supporters Club Lartigue Hurdle.

AIDAN O’BRIEN’S Nell Gwyn, a poor fifth of seven behind Four Sins at the Curragh on her debut Curragh, but a full-sister to Rock Of Gibraltar, was all the rage for the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden at the first stage of the Tralee Festival last evening and duly obliged.

ONLY five are set to face the starter in the 2000 Guineas Trial Stakes at Leopardstown this afternoon, but they can all be given a life of sorts.
