High School Days completed a hat-trick in style, as she took the Richard Brennan Fencing Services Handicap Hurdle.
Successful on her last two starts at Gowran and Wexford, the Henry De Bromhead trained four-year-old went off a 9/2 chance this afternoon.
Settled in mid-division by Dylan Robinson, she took closer order before three out, and cruised through to lead before the next, keeping on well from there to score by four and three parts of a length. Dorkas finished second at 14/1 under Rachael Blackmore for Jimmy Finn, while the 7/2 favourite Brave Out (6s last night and from 9/2 on-course) was another length and a quarter back in third for Denis O'Regan and John Kiely.
De Bromhead said afterwards: "We struggled to win a maiden hurdle with her during the summer and we just changed tactics with her and she seems to be loving it and Dylan was great on her.
"Looking at that, we'd be hoping to get black-type with her; she is starting to get up the ranks now and she is only a four year old. She'll be some mare over a fence as she's a big scopey girl.
"The Boylesports Hurdle (at Leopardstown in January) would be a race you'd have to consider and she is also still a novice which gives us more options."
