Nolan and Enright a combination to note

Handicap debutant Itsnotinit (5/1jf) was a ready winner of the D Pack Packaging Handicap Hurdle at Limerick for Paul Nolan.

He was stronglty challenged by Seangoell over the second last but travelled the better on the run to the final obstacle.

He went on by a couple of lengths jumping it and kept on well to increase the advantage to four and three quarter lengths at the winning post with Phillip Enright in the plate.

Runner-up Seangoell (18/1 from 25/1) moved well into the race before giving best to the winner. Vue En Seine (5/1jf) came in third with Duke Of Kilcorral a remote fourth at 66/1.

Stable representative James Nolan said: "He stepped up in trip and it was probably a poor race and he wants that very deep ground. He did everything right and fair play to the owners who have had a lot of patience with him - he had trouble the whole way through and they stuck with him.

"He is a big chaser in the making and will stay over hurdles this season.

"Sean (O'Keeffe) and Bryan (Cooper) were in Leopardstown and that's Phillip's second ride for us and also a second winner - he previously won on My Club Colours in Punchestown."
