Tellthemnuttin won her third race from three starts at Wexford when landing the Welcome To Wexford Racecourse Rated Novice Hurdle under Dylan Robinson on her reappearance from a 138 day break.
The only mare in the line-up, the successful daughter of Shantou stormed around the outer into the straight and she had the measure of Boru Boy (well backed 5/2 favourite) when that fellow got the last flight wrong.
Willie Codd 's charge then kept up the gallop on the run-in to win by three and three parts of a length.
Robinson explained afterwards: "Willie is over in Aintree enjoying himself. I won on her twice before and I think she is after improving again from last year. She is a stronger mare now and she just loves racing."
Eamonn Fahy, member of the winning syndicate (the Heads Or Harps grouping), indicated that Tellthemnuttin will go to Punchestown now.
The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Vinnie Luck trained by Michael Winters, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be blowing hard post race.
