< The Fonze (12-1) upset the two market principals when running out a game winner of the Waterford & Tramore Racecourse Supporters Chase.< One Cool Cookie and Snowy Morning dominated the betting and were sent off 13-8 joint-favourites, but the former's jumping went astray on the final circuit and Snowy Morning got going all too late to claim third.

Shay Barry sat patiently on The Fonze in midfield, but he emerged on the scene four out and passed long-time leader Hello Kitty as the pair approached the last.

A Grade Two winner at Gowran Park earlier in the season, Eoin Doyle's inmate asserted on the short run-in and came home with four lengths to spare over Anothercoppercoast

Doyle and Barry continued their rich vein of form with Chebona Bula in the David Flynn Construction Novice Handicap Hurdle.

The two-mile contest turned into a sprint for the line after the second-last and the 5-2 favourite was in an ideal position to pounce, having been settled in behind the leaders early on.

Davy Russell gave Grand Lahou a fine front-running ride to take the opening Kent Bros Beginners Chase.

The Arthur Moore inmate fell on his last racecourse visit at Cork back in April, but Russell got the 11-2 shot into a good rhythm from the outset and he ultimately stayed on well to hold Echo Bob three-quarters of a length at bay.

Russell doubled up aboard Pagan Music in the Tom Carroll Memorial Handicap Chase.< Bemo Two looked to have settled the matter when seeing off the gallant Borolee but the Andrew Slattery-trained 7-1 winner found a new gear after the last and got up by half a length.

Patrick Flynn's Binocular (3-1) maintained his steady improvement when getting off the mark over timber in the New Years Day At Tramore Maiden Hurdle, while the Dusty Sheehy-trained 5-1 shot Kusadasi made every yard to win the Make Racing At Tramore Your New Year Resolution Maiden Hurdle.
