Feet Of A Dancer quickened clear in good style to land the spoils in the lady riders' handicap hurdle at Wexford under Sarah Kavanagh.

The Paul Nolan-trained filly had won her maiden hurdle at the venue back in early March and struck again on her return to the south-east venue.

She was produced to challenge Hidalgo Des Mottes on the inner jumping the second last as Buttons And Bows also came to fight it out.

It was 13/2 shot Feet Of A Dancer who asserted on the run-in to post a four-length success over Buttons And Bows.

Nolan said: "That was a super ride from Sarah. I said sit on her coming down the hill and don't let the leaders get too far away from you. She got a lovely run up the inner and I thought she was super.

“She is a progressive little mare and I was delighted with the way she won here the last day when the loose horse didn't do her any favours. She has come on a lot from that.

"I'm thinking something like getting in off bottom weight in the Lartigue at Listowel. Maybe she is not that standard, but she is a progressive little one and wears her heart on her sleeve and seems to try. She is going the right way."
