He is far from my favourite horse, but if ever a contest was made for Ted Veale it is the Grade 3 At The Races EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase at Roscommon this afternoon.

Rae’s Creek gets the nap to land a cracking little six-runner Cashen Novice Hurdle at the final stage of the Listowel festival this afternoon.

Rae’s Creek and Alton Bay, both winners on the level at the track last time, got off the mark in impressive style in the maiden hurdle action on last night’s card in Ballinrobe.

Trainer/rider Denis Hogan completed a double with odds-on favourite San Gabriel and Ocean Glandore at Ballinrobe last night.

Trainer Andy Oliver doubled up with impressive winners All Set To Go and Jazz Girl in Roscommon last night.
