He won the Amateur Riders race the Connacht Hotel Handicap over 3300m on Echoes in Rain and he held off the other 19 runners, the best of whom was Maze Runner 16/1 who was followed in by Dutch Schultz 20/1 and Lots of Joy 10/1 so if you had the pick 4 the Guinesses are on you!

Gordon Elliott opened his account with a win in the opening race but on Royal Eagle 18/1 and not his more favoured runner As Tears Go By who finished fourth.  Hot favourite HMS Seahorse put in a couple of poor jumps and finished third with the second spot going to Razdan on 9/1.

Highlight of Tuesday's card is the Colm Quinn BMW Mile with 18 runners.  It is quite open so here's the market leaders – Cowboy Justice on 5/1, Fastnet Crown 6/1, Pierre Lapin whom we rather like on 7/1, Masala 8/1 and bearing in mind the need to keep Dermot Weld's runners safe 12/1 for Crystal Black.
