NORMAN WILLIAMSON is in the wars yet again. Brought down by the fallen I Remember It Well at the fifth flight in yesterday's Evening Echo Handicap Hurdle, the jockey's left leg was caught in the iron and he was dragged along for some 50 yards after his mount had found his legs and careered off. Williamson eventually collided with a plastic rail upright before being extricated. Had is saddle not split in two he would have been in serious trouble.

Miraculously, this accident prone jockey escaped injury. Sidelined for more than five months recently Williamson only resumed riding at Killarney on Wednesday. Williamson returns to England today but, not surprisingly, will not be in action this weekend.

The race was won by the Donie Hassett trained Bright Project who got the upperhand on the run in to beat Dancing Clodagh.

The glorious weather was a mixed blessing for the meeting. The sun attracted good crowds and the four day attendance was approximately 2,500 up on last year's corresponding Festival.

However, the chase course was baked resulting in small fields, but heavy watering on the hurdles course each evening had the desired effect, while the flat track rode no worse than good to firm.

Sentosa Star, who completed his four timer here on Monday, could finish only fourth behind all the way winner Glowing Lines in the Dawn Milk Run Handicap. The Donald Swan trained mare had not won since capturing a handicap hurdle at Tralee in August when trained by Aidan O'Brien.

Colm's Rock was well ridden by Charlie Swan to land the Dawn Fresh Cream Novice Hurdle by a length from Fraser Carey. This despite hitting the last flight when adrift of the latter who had taken up the running at the previous obstacle, looking all over the winner. O'Brien currently leads the Dawn Light award for leading trainer at the Kingdom meetings for both flat and NH racing.
