Santo back at Wexford for jumps win

Santo Prince added a jumping success to his two wins on the level this year when claiming the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Wexford.

Robbie Hennessy's charge has had his share of problems but has hit a rich vein of form in the past few months. He was a winner on the level at the track in August and also scored on the Flat at Gowran last time.

Ben Dalton got a nice run up the inside to lead after the third last in the two-and-a-half mile contest and he kept on well in the closing stages to hold the late run of Tb Broke Her by a length.

Dalton said:- "He jumped great the whole way. I ended up getting there way too early but he jumped and travelled and got himself there. He done it well and he is very genuine."

The winning owner Anthony Kelly is from Ratoath.
