That's A Wrap powered home in Galway to give Tom Mullins, Mark Walsh and JP McManus a double on the card.

The five-year-old gelding arrived on the premises full of running approaching the final flight of this extended two and a quarter mile handicap hurdle.

He went about his business once that hurdle was negotiated and bounded away to win by two and a half lengths at 11/2 (from 7/1). Charlie Stout (10/1), 5/1 favourite Summer Storm and Delayed Eloquence (20/1) completed the placings in second, third and fourth respectively.

Tom Mullins said: "He was going nice all last season but then pulled up at Ballinrobe and, when we couldn't find anything wrong with him, we decided to leave him off as he's a big horse who'd summer well .

"He'll have no problem with soft ground and we'll go for another handicap next. He's definitely a chaser in the making."

Mullins, Walsh and McManus also took the third race on the card - the two and a quarter mile handicap chase - with Oscar Knight
