Rauzan and Hugh Morgan supplemented a Tramore victory at the end of last month when taking the rated novice hurdle at Downpatrick.

Eoin Doyle 's charge was steered to the front by Morgan racing to the final flight and the duo asserted on the long run-in.

From there, the race was over as they powered up the hill to come in by eight lengths at 10/1. Red Glory the well backed 5/2 favourite, had no answers in second but was two and a-half lengths in front of Seasett (4/1).

Morgan said: "The lads said he was in good nick, but the only problem was the drop back in trip.

"Slower ground there today and he seemed to handle it no problem.

"I'd be hoping so (climb the latter a bit) for the lads.

"I'm still based down in the south east, keeping the head down and tipping away. I'm grateful for any opportunity that comes.

"I'm enjoying it - it is competitive in Ireland, it is what it is, just keep going."
