Let's Twist Again ran out a convincing winner of the Nally Bros Hyundai Supporting Longford GAA Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown.

Mark Walsh moved up to dispute on the 7/1 shot four from home and kicked on turning into the straight.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding stayed on strongly in the closing stages to record a four-length success over Steel Wave

“That was great. He jumped like a buck and handled the conditions,” said Frank Berry, racing manager for winning owner JP McManus.

“He's been running consistently all year and if we can find another one it'll be grand for him.”
