Former Ballydoyle inhabitant Tower Bridge looked quite classy when triumphant in the concluding event at Ballinrobe, the McHale Orbital Round Bale Wrapper INH Flat Race.

This High Chaparral gelding was a promising fourth on his debut when racing for winning trainer Joseph O'Brien's mother Ann Marie.

Bred like Irish Guineas third Irishcorrespondent by Ballygallon Stud, Tower Bridge since transferred into J P McManus' ownership.

Tom Hamilton rode the four-year-old and himself and odds-on favourite Special Ted went at it from a nice bit out.

However the 7/4 victor was much the best inside the last as he went on to gain the day by five and a half lengths. O'Brien also had the third home, Border Control (10/1 into 7/1), three lengths further back.

"He picked up well, I thought it was going to be a battle off the bend, but he picked up well and ran on home well. He learned a bit from Punchestown and he doesn't mind the bit of quick ground. I'd say he will go for a winner's bumper somewhere now," said McManus racing manager Frank Berry.
