Colin Keane winner for Gordon Elliott

Kiltale-based trainer Ger Lyons was in good from this evening at Leopardstown with the first two home in the Listed Glencairn Stakes as Brendan Brackan with Gary Carroll on board took the spoils from Elusive Heights and Colin Keane.

This was a ninth win for Brendan Brackan in more than 40 outings with the most valuable a few years ago at Galway when landing the Topaz Mile in 2013.

There was some compensation for Colin Keane who eventually made it into the winners' enclosure in the same colours as the earlier Lyons winner, but this time
for Gordon Elliott with Automated in a handicap.

Automated won the Tara Hurdle at Navan last December and the ran at Cheltenham and Punchestown.
