Kilbeggan proves likely Lad as O’Regan lands another major pot

DENIS O'REGAN, fresh from a career-best success on Ansar in the Galway Plate, landed another major pot at Listowel yesterday when partnering Kilbeggan Lad to a smooth victory in the Guinness Handicap Hurdle.

O'Regan gave Michael Hourigan's gelding a fine drive, producing him from off a fast pace at exactly the right time.

Luxi Rive and Bon Temps Rouler carried them along at a spanking gallop, but were never going to be able to maintain it.
