Jordan Gainford brought up the 50th winner of his career on board Dympnas Well in the www.horsehappyvets.com Handicap Hurdle at Wexford.

He drove the five-year-old mare home by four lengths in this extended two and a half miler.

She went off 10/3 favourite and beat Better Than Heaven (9/1) into second. Sefton Warrior completed the placings in third at 28/1.

Trainer Paul Nolan said: "She is a consistent filly. The days she won before there was a cut in the ground and she appreciated the ground today.

"She was a bit disappointing the last day in Listowel. Jordan gave her a great ride and he is just an exceptional talent.

"Hopefully now he will stay injury free. Today was the first day we claimed off of her and that helped as well."
