Make A Track narrowly got the best of Ceol Rua in a stirring finish to the Goresbridge Beginner Hurdle at Gowran Park.Third behind Mount Benbulben in the Grade 2 Monksfield Amateur Hurdle at Navan, Charlie Swan's Make A Track was given a strong ride by Davy Russell, who sent his mount into a debatable advantage approaching 2 out.
Long-time leader Ceol Rua fought back after the last flight for Ruby Walsh but the 2-1 favourite wasn't for thrashing and held on by a head.
Walsh also had to settle for second-fiddle on Are Ya Right Chief, who could not quite reel in Barry Geraghty and Golanbrook (5-4 favorite), despite finishing with a rattle, in the Santa's Little Helper Maiden Hurdle.
Golanbrook looked well in command after De Dodger fell but he was all out at the line to adhere on by a short-head.
There was another fine finish in the Gowran Park Racing Club 2012 Maiden Hurdle, with 6-4 jolly Pride Of The Artic, trained by Peter Fahey and ridden by his nephew, Mark, thrashing Castle Wings by a diminishing neck.
One Cool Shabra (11-8 favorite) made each post a winning one in the Xmas Championship At Gowran 3-Y-O Hurdle.
Oliver Brady's consistent youngster appreciated the ease in class having came third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse, digging deep close home to beat Bat Masterson by a head.
Ludo Et Emergo also made all to claim the Xmas Voucher Gowran Golfing Shop Maiden Hurdle.
Sent off a completely unconsidered 50-1 chance, Andrew Lee's debutant came under pressue coming to 2 out but he never looked like being headed and eventually won by two-and-three-qurter-lengths from Don Leone.
Knockbrack Vic rejected percentages of 25-1 to win the Gowran Park Thanks All Clients Mares Handicap Hurdle, while the 26th Jan 2012-Thyestes Day At Gowran Park INH Flat Race went to Willie Mullins ' 2-1 favourite Primroseandblue.
