In-form hurdler Twin Plan went back over the larger obstacles in a bid to exploit a favourable mark, in the Toals Bookmakers Daily Moneyback Concessions Handicap Chase at Downpatrick, and things ultimately went swimmingly well for Eddie O'Connell's mount.

Fencing was hardly ever likely to be a problem for the winning 'pointer' and she won like an even money shot should, accounting for the well-backed (not for the first time) Mr Bb by an easy eleven lengths.

James Lambe trains Twin Plan for the Brookland Racing Partnership.

Lambe explained: "I've had a mixed day with three third places and one fourth but this was the one I fancied.

"Anything that could go wrong did go wrong today. They went no gallop and she met lots of trouble but she's improving and she's a good string to have in my bow.

"It's onwards and upwards with her. We might go to Ayr for a mares hurdle on Scottish National Day.

"Patrick McCann from Loughgall, County Armagh is the main man in the partnership.

"He's my principal backer as he's invested heavily in the yard.

"I'm now looking forward to the flat too. I've got seventeen three-year-olds to run." (MG & EM)
