Eagle's leads the Way in Galway feature

Eagle's Way produced a front-running performance full of guts and determination to take the Guinness Handicap, the mile-and-a-half feature on day five of the big festival at Ballybrit.

Having his third run for Bill Durkan after leaving Mark Prescott, the Chris Hayes-ridden five-year-old showed a liking for this trip when winning last time out at Bellewstown, having been sixth over hurdles first time for his new yard at Punchestown.

Chally Chute pushed him all the way to the line, but the post came in time for the 8-1 scorer, who got home by a short head. Soaring Monarch was third, with Monday’s winner Sirius fourth.

Another tight call, this time in the Guinness Handicap, where Chally Chute and Eagle's Way battled to the wire - the latter coming out on top for @chrishayes24 and William Durkan
