Park Row bounced back to form in the Gowran Park Apprentice Handicap.

Gary Halpin got a good tune out of him down the inner in the final 150 yards as they kept on best to land the spoils by two lengths.

Johnny Feane's charge didn't go unbacked from 14/1 in the morning, 11/1 on opening show down to an SP of 8/1. In Our Blood was the horse headed in the closing stages by the winner and he had to settle for second at 11/1 from 16/1.

He beat Lizard Point (6/1) into third by a head.

"He was back down to a mark that he was competitive off. He is better fresh and I'm just happy he won. Gary gets on great with him. He jumps hurdles great. I don't know where he'll go next," Johnny Feane said.
