Paddy Twomey is hoping for a better showing from Countess Of Tyrone in the Listed Vintage Tipple Stakes at Gowran Park this evening.

The Australia filly won on debut at Galway last summer but failed to get much of a run when pitched into Listed company on her return at Cork last month.

She met trouble in running then after finding herself towards the rear early on and Twomey is happy to draw a line through that run.

“We're looking forward to running her. Cork didn't really work as plan, we ended up shuffled back in the pack and they didn't go quick but she's come out of it well,” said the Golden handler.

“She seems in very good form and I think the step up in trip won't inconvenience her.”
