John Murphy’s team is hitting top form and Celtic Crown, who caught the eye in Killarney, stepped up nicely to win the Paddy Smyth Memorial Apprentice Handicap in Ballinrobe last night.

Ridden by promising young rider Joey Sheridan, who recorded a double on the card, she got up in the final yards to collar favourite Bestrella.
