Racing went ahead after an early morning inspection, and punters got the better of the exchanges, including the odds-on success of So Supreme in division one of the Merck Sharp and Dohme EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle.The four-year-old, trained and ridden by Charlie Swan, was prominent throughout, and shook off the challenge of main market rival Cailin's Perk in the straight to eventually score by a comfortable seven lengths."She was never really travelling in that ground (soft to heavy) but is a tough sort," Swan said. "I was trying to get some black type in her previous two runs, and this was certainly a drop in class." The market also proved a good guide in the opening three-year-old Maiden Hurdle, where Environment also justified favouritism. Pat Martin's charge made smooth headway to head Rivervail two out, and kept on well to beat that rival by four and a half lengths."She jumps well, and really loves soft ground. I will find a winners race for him at one of the country tracks," said Martin.Michael Hourigan reports Dorans Pride in fine form despite being given a weekend off, and missing out on the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown."With all the wet weather, I have decided to give him a little break and wait for the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown," said the Limerick handler after saddling Mr Red Banner to take the Opportunity Handicap Hurdle. The top weight had plenty in hand under Robbie McNally in beating Coralpha by two lengths.
