< Unic De Bersy boosted his confidence with a hard-fought success in the Waterford & Tramore Racecourse Members Club Chase.

Gordon Elliott's eight-year-old had failed to complete on his three previous appearances, including in the Thyestes and the Irish National, but was the 13-8 favourite in this far less competitive affair.

He wasn't always foot-perfect and Jack Kennedy had to roust him along to get in the mix, but he touched down over the last disputing the lead with Cliffside Park and found more after it to score by three lengths.< Penhill (4-11 favourite) ran out a very impressive winner of the www.tramore-racecourse.com Maiden Hurdle.

A classy Flat handicapper when with Luca Cumani, he is now trained by Willie Mullins and while there is plenty of room for improvement in the jumping department, he should be able to use this length-and-a-half defeat of Nikki Steel as a springboard to better things.< Le Vagabond showed his appreciation for having his sights lowered by landing the Waterford & Tramore Hurdle.

Edward O'Grady's French import has contested a couple of Graded races since arriving from France so it was no surprise that he was sent off the 9-10 favourite in this company, and he readily saw off Ciao Cielo by five and a half lengths.

The 6-1 shot was challenged by Urtheoneiwant at the last but jumped it better and that momentum helped carry him to a half-length call.< Final Gift (100-30) has been out of sorts this year but bounced back to form to claim top honours in the Waterford & Tramore Racecourse Directors Handicap Chase, while 10-1 chance Smitty Bacall left his first performance a long way behind to land the Tramore (C & G) Flat Race.
