Place gets home to complete five-timer in Boyne Hurdle

Sutton Place wore down stable companion De Plotting Shed to claim top honours in the Ladbrokes Ireland Boyne Hurdle at Navan.Sutton Place was the 4-6 favourite to secure a fifth successive victory and eventually did so in good style under Barry Geraghty.Rank outsider Milsean took the field along for much of the two-mile-five-furlong journey, but was a spent force at the top of the home straight.Thomas Hobson briefly hit the front, but De Plotting Shed took over at the third-last.He was followed through by Sutton Place, Supasundae and Renneti, but it was Gordon Elliott's pair who would fight out the finish, with Sutton Place quickening up well under hand driving to score by three and three-quarter lengths.
