Getoutwhenyoucan provided trainer Austin Leahy with a welcome change of luck when landing the P & D Lydon Handicap Hurdle, while The Game Changer continued the excellent form of Gordon Elliott in the Hollymount Nursing Home Chase.

Disappointing in his first run at Kilbeggan on Friday after a break, Getoutwhenyoucan surprised even his trainer when springing a 20/1 shock. He travelled strongly into the lead early on the final circuit before keeping Stormey at bay by three-quarters of a length before retaining the prize in a stewards’ enquiry, called after the runner-up was denied a run up the inside on the run-in.
