Final Flashback showed no ill effects from last night's easy success at the course when turning out again this afternoon to take the opening maiden hurdle at Tramore.

Pat Flynn 's charge had cantered home on the level last night but had to work harder today over timber.

The 6/5 favourite had only one danger, in the shape of Haventabobphil from a long way out after hitting the front going out on the last circuit.

Haventabobphil launched her challenge at the second last but Tim Carroll always had a bit up his sleeve on the favourite and he kept on gamely for a length success.

It was a third course success for the winner and Flynn said afterwards:-

"Tim said he felt brilliant and was never going to get beat. He wants good ground and jumps well.

"He could be a Galway Hurdle horse in time. He just needs experience."
