Chisholm Trail completed a great day for Paul Nolan at Wexford when landing a treble for the local handler in the concluding bumper.

The 2/1 favourite was settled mid-division by Patrick Mullins in the two-miler before taking close order turning for home.

The Presenting mare was sent to the front over a furlong from home and galloped on strongly to record a three-and-three-quarter length win.

Chisholm Trail was taking a drop in grade today having been fifth in Grade 2 company behind Relegate at Leopardstown back in February.

Nolan said: "Patrick gave her a super ride. He was just waiting for a gap to come and he always thought she would be able to go through it.

“I was worried about the ground, I'd say she will appreciate nicer ground and she jumps well. We'll probably look for a little summer campaign for her.

"When it works out like today it's grand. Hopefully we'll be able to keep our heads above water."

It was a perfect three winners from three runners on the day for Nolan with Monotype and Castafiore Park also scoring earlier on the card.
