The Galway Hurdle is the aim for Paul Nolan's See U Bob after he ran out a game winner of the Ladbrokes Odds On Loyalty Card Handicap Hurdle at Killarney today.

The six-year-old made all the running for Alain Cawley and held of the challenge of Willie Mullins' Dani California in determined style.

The Last Hurrah and Alpine Glade took minor honours with Pierse Hurdle winner Penny's Bill in sixth.

Nolan said: "We were terribly disappointed with this horse at Fairyhouse the last day, his jumping really let him down but thankfully he got it right today.

"We decided to bounce out and make it, and it seemed to really help his jumping.

"We will probably aim for the Galway Hurdle next with him."

The race was marred by an incident three out where Ruby Walsh and Paul Carberry suffered crashing falls from Imperial Hills and Robin Du Bois respectively, with both horses sadly having to be put down.

The jockeys were stood down for the rest of the day, with David Casey replacing Walsh on Snowy Morning as the pair ran out victorious in the Leanes Tool Hire & Scaffolding Chase.
