Bolodenka ran out a thoroughly convincing winner of the Galway Handicap to notch his second victory at this year's festival.

Richard Fahey's four-year-old was a comfortable winner at Ballybrit on Thursday with Kieren Fallon on board but Declan McDonogh proved a more than able replacement yesterday.

The 9 to 2 second-favourite found a grand turn of foot and swept to the front inside the final furlong, readily drawing two lengths clear of Dynamo Dancer (9 to 1). King Of Tory (33 to 1) filled third spot, just a short-head further away, while 3 to 1 favourite Uhoomagoo - partnered by Fallon - found his stride too late and was fourth.

On The Other Hand provided handler Charlie Swan with a notable success when proving far too strong for his 17 rivals in the Handicap Hurdle. Denis Hogan guided John McManus's 10 to 1 chance to the front at the last and cleared away for a ready four-length success over 33 to 1 outsider Milord Jones. Classic Croco tired to finish third with Strand Line back in fourth.

Tommy Treacy had earlier galvanised a winning run from 14 to 1 shot Lugante in the opening race of the day - the Corrib Village Beginners Chase.

Jessica Harrington's mare scored by half a length from the staying-on Sabadilla (5 to 1).

Kevin Coleman brought Castle Hope (8 to 1) with a power-packed finish to edge out 2 to 1 favourite Adastra Lad by a short-head in the Tara Towers Hotel Handicap Hurdle.

In another fantastic finish Kuwait Tower (20 to 1) overhauled Incline late on in the Galway Fairgreen Hotel Handicap to record a head success, while Bolodenka's stablemate Bolton Hall (5 to 1) finished third.

Dermot Weld was on the board with Bling It On in the Mercer Hotel European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden. Pat Smullen guided the 5 to 1 chance to a comfortable three and a half lengths victory over Zulu Queen (100 to 30), with Cabin Point (9 to 2) taking third. Unbeaten Cork All Star brought the curtain down on a successful festival by claiming victory in the INH Flat Race.
