THE Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler A Wave Of The Sea secured his first success since that high-profile triumph at the Dublin Racing Festival as he made it second time lucky over fences in a two-and-a-half-mile beginners’ chase at Kilbeggan yesterday week.

Joseph O’Brien’s charge was sent off the 4/6 favourite under Mark Walsh and made good use of the chasing experience that he picked up at Killarney last month. The J.P. McManus- owned gelding was niggled along briefly with a circuit to run but made short work of these opponents when it mattered.
