SUE BRAMALL, who moved from England to a new yard in Inch, Co Wexford, made an unlucky start to her new operation when Spanish Fair, partnered by Conor O'Dwyer, was pulled up with over a mile to race after the bit went through his mouth in the Powers Gold Label Handicap Hurdle at Wexford last night.

Victory went to Regal Grove, carrying the colours of the seven member Coosan Syndicate, and Charlie Swan, who clawed back what looked an unassailable advantage for Father Rector after the third last flight to win by two lengths.

Curragh trainer Michael Grassick saddled his second winner in as many days when Queens Music lust landed the spoils in the Jameson Handicap after a tremendous battle with Skirteen inside the final furlong. The winner needed all of rider Eddie Ahern's urgings to settle the issue after the young rider lost his whip inside the furlong.

Classic Silk made virtually all in the opening Paddy Irish Whiskey Maiden Hurdle.
