Review TRAMORE 25TH JUN

Wexford trainer Paul Nolan maintained his tremendous run of form when saddling a 10.25/1 mixed double through Touchwoodexpress and Park Leader at the seaside venue.

Touchwoodexpress had already contributed to the yard's blistering start to the new National Hunt season and followed up her Downpatrick win when gamely landing the 2m handicap hurdle.

The Good Thyne filly held off the staying-on Ski Jump by 1 1/2 lengths, and is likely to continue in handicap company for the moment.

'She had a soft-palate operation, which seems to have made a big difference, and never makes a noise during her races now,' said Nolan.

Park Leader belied his age when showing plenty of dash to open his account on the level under Mick Hussey in the 1m1f maiden.

'He is one of the best work horses we have at home, and although he hasn't proved as good as I initially hoped is certainly paying his way,' said the delighted handler afterwards.

Bregogue could be Galway Plate-bound following his hard-earned length victory over Auditty in the handicap chase.

'The Plate is the objective as long as he gets in, and he'll run at either Killarney or Tipperary next month beforehand,' said trainer Patrick O'Keeffe.

Paul Carberry's rich vein of form continued when Brief Dance (1/1-11/10-1/1f), a faller on his two previous starts, made all for a comfortable triumph in the opening 2m novice hurdle.
