Seldom Fed came home strongly to short-head the front-running Melon Delta in the Patrickswell Vintage Rally Handicap Hurdle.

Alain 'Squeaky' Cawley did the steering on the 6/1 shot owned by the Anthony Deegan father and son team from County Wicklow.

James Nolan, brother of the winning trainer, Paul, said: "It's great for the lads and that's his second win for us now, he won in Roscommon after winning his bumper for Joe Crowley. He didn't jump well in a beginners chase at Wexford last time so we said we'd go back hurdling.

"I'd say he'll go to Galway now for a handicap later in the week."
