In the colours of race-sponsor JP McManus, the Enda Bolger-trained Take The Free bagged the biggest prize on offer in Roscommon on Monday night, the Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle.
Aidan Kelly, who was riding out his 3lb claim, had the home-bred four-year-old Walk In The Park gelding close to the pace throughout and, ultimately, mastered front-running favourite Frankie’s Freebie to score by two and a quarter lengths.
