RIDERS who had not ridden more than 15 winners in the past year, got the chance to shine on Ballinrobe’s second card of 2021. The featured Supermac’s Handicap Chase saw reserve Optical Confusion (11/2) make the line-up and do the business under Luke Dempsey.

Cheltenham Festival and Galway Plate winning pilot Dempsey got himself off the cold jockeys’ list with a first success of the year, on the Anthony Coughlan-owned and Michael Butler-trained Optical Confusion.
