"Coming here for a Grade One is like a Junior C player being allowed play in an All-Ireland final," the winning trainer and rider said.

Progressive six-year-old I’ll Sort That made every yard of the running and dug deep to give trainer and rider Declan Queally a first Grade One success in the rescheduled Ballymore Novice Hurdle in Naas.

Completing a hurdling four-timer, the Sandmason gelding forced the pace but looked vulnerable when Patrick Mullins brought favourite Sortudo through to track the winner turning for home, on the extended run-in.
