Jack Kennedy retains his lead over Darragh O’Keeffe in his quest for a second Jockeys Championship after both riders were on the mark on a rainy Student Day in Limerick.

Kennedy registered his 99th domestic winner of the season when the Gordon Elliott-trained 6/4 shot He Can’t Dance, placed in each of his six previous excursions over hurdles, made all and readily brushed aside odds-on favourite King’s Bucks in the three-mile Monk Bar Maiden Hurdle.
