Ancient Days was a local winner in the Summerhill Shopping Centre, Tramore Beginners Chase but it was predominantly the layers that were smiling following the 11/1 shot's success under Andrew McNamara for trainer John Queally.

In the familiar Annette Mee silks, McNamara gave the Daylami a dashing ride on just the six-year-old's second encounter with the larger obstacles.

In the words of McNamara "we missed the last badly" but well-backed favourite Raajih was never going to bridge the gap on the run-in and Ancient Days crossed the line two lengths to the good.

Queally disclosed: "I just got back from France this morning and it's nice to have a winner at the local track.

"Andrew certainly didn't give him a married man's ride!

"Jumping won it for him." (DM & EM)
