Paul Carberry stole the show at a bitterly cold Thurles yesterday when recording a near 16 to 1 treble. Noel Meade, who supplied Carberry with the first leg of his three-timer when Native Dara comfortably landed the Tipperary Maiden Hurdle, reported Sunshine Street, "in great form" after his gallant effort in last Saturday's Breeders' Cup spectacle at Churchill Downs when filling fifth spot behind Buck's Boy.

"We had a great time over there and the horse will now have a long break. I think he's a horse that will improve a lot from three to four and he won't run until the ground is fast next season. I hope to have a crack at the Coronation Cup in Epsom," said the Navan handler.

The Meade/Carberry alliance struck again in the Loughmore EBF Beginners Chase when Walt, sent off at even money to account for his 11 rivals, responded gamely to a power-packed Carberry drive when battling back to head 20 to 1 chance Persian Amore and Barry Geraghty on the run-in.

Earlier the Meathman oozed confidence aboard the Tim Doyle-trained odds-on chance Sandy's Native which completed a hat-trick of wins with the minimum of fuss when coming home with two lengths to spare over Roscrea Travel in the Holycross Hurdle.

Jim Dreaper's Ollimar will turn out again tomorrow in the Stand House Hotel Craddockstown Novice Chase at Punchestown following his narrow victory over the fast-finishing Native-Darrig in the Seskin EBF Beginners Chase where warm favourite Go Roger Go came to grief at the second fence.

"I told Tommy (Treacy) to think of Saturday and not to be too hard on him and he won't run again after that until Christmas", said the winning handler after his gelding held on to land the spoils by the minimum margin.

Ruby Walsh, who partnered runner-up NativeDarrig, gained compensation in the next when successfully teaming up with Willie Mullins' See Just There to bring his seasonal tally to 41, five clear of nearest pursuer Paul Carberry.
