The William Murphy trained Twice The Craic benefited from a well judged ride from Derek O'Connor to claim the GGL Security Maiden Hunters Chase at Limerick today.

O'Connor held the Tiraaz gelding up towards the rear, make progress from the fourth last, eventually getting to the front, on the inner, before the straight, staying on well for a four lengths win.

Afterwards Murphy stated "Twice The Craic loves that holding ground and is an out and out stayer."
