Neddy takes the feature under Brouder for Roche

Neddyvaughan made in six in-a-row for favourite backers at Wexford, as he took the feature Casey Precast Handicap Chase.

Successful at Fairyhouse just over a fortnight ago, the Padraig Roche trained chestnut was expected to follow-up this afternoon, and was sent to post the 2/1 market leader.

Settled in second by Kevin Brouder, he jumped to the front at the fourth last and held off all challengers in the straight, keeping on well to score by two and a half lengths.

Handicap debutant Peculiar Genius (10/1) ran well to take second under Bryan Cooper for Paul Nolan, while Conduct Yourself (13/2 to 5s) was another four and a quarter lengths back in third.

Roche, who trains the winner for the Beechpark Racing Syndicate, said afterwards: "He is surprising me a bit as he is improving the whole time. It was a great prize to win with him today.

"I was always worried about the trip but I'd say now that all he does is stay. It opens up more options for him as well.

"As long as the ground doesn't go bottomless we will keep going with him. He could go back over hurdles at some stages but he'll stay over fences for the foreseeable future anyway."
