THE best was saved until last at Kilbeggan’s first meeting of the year as Lorna Fowler’s newcomer Tommy Time (8/1) left his rivals for dead in the second bumper on the card.

Graham Morrow’s homebred son of Sageburg, a half-brother to useful jumpers Rocco and Line Ball, tracked the leaders under Maxine O’Sullivan before being produced to lead on the outer two furlongs out. Despite being green in front, the five-year-old went right away to beat Brandt by 14 lengths.
