ST Lawrence Gap took up the running approaching two out and stayed on well to land the evening's feature race at Tramore – the Richard Power Private Client Betting Handicap Hurdle.

The Eoin Doyle-trained 5/2 favourite, who was partnered by Brian O'Connell, beat the Ellmarie Holden-trained My Direction by two and a half lengths. It was his first run over obstacles since unseating his rider at Galway last October.
