Hurry Kitty bounced back to form on her return to a sounder surface when claiming the 2m5f handicap hurdle at Tramore.

Liz Doyle 's charge had been well beaten in testing conditions at Listowel last month but left that run well behind.

She was produced to challenge before the second last by Donagh Meyler and asserted before the final flight.

The High-Rise mare kept on well on the run-in to secure a length-and-three-quarters success. Lisa's Legacy won the battle for second by a neck from 10/3 favourite Craig Star

The 6/1 winner was recording her third career victory.

"It was a case of all the duck in a row as the ground and trip suited and she probably needs a claimer riding her,” said Doyle.

"She's definitely better on good ground, and it was very heavy in Listowel. She only cost 400 quid, and nearly every day she is in the money."

The winning Demesne Syndicate are from Ferns in County Wexford.
