Hazariban (5/1) was the clear-cut winner of the concluding two mile handicap at Tramore for Seamus Fahey and Shane Foley. Theos Well the 11/8 favourite raced in third but weakened out of contention with over half a mile to race and came in a well-beaten sixth.

It was within the last half mile that Hazariban in front, and He'llberemembered in second, took several lengths out of the remaining runners.

Hazariban kept up the gallop as He'llberemembered came off the bridle with over two and a half furlongs to go.

Foley went for the whip entering the straight and the six-year-old gelding wasn't for stopping as he won by two and a quarter lengths.

Seamus Fahey said: "We are delighted. Shane felt there was no pace on and he just picked it up and he said he liked it up in front. He stayed at it fairly well.

"He was unlucky on his last two runs, things didn't go his way. It all came together today thank God. We will find something similar for him now. He is on the go along time but as long as he stays in good form we will keep going with him. His owner (Sally Dempsey) couldn't be here."

He'llberemembered kept on for second at 10/1 as Storm Away stayed on for third a further five lengths away.

Foley had earlier scored in race two on board Recollection
