ACTION between the flags was highly competitive at last Saturday’s Tipperary Foxhounds meeting held at Lisronagh.

Competition was particularly fierce in the younger maidens and the seven-race card commenced with an exemplary display from the Philip Fenton-trained Garter Lane (6 - 3/1CF) in the four-year-old mares’ maiden. One of eight newcomers in the field, the daughter of Getaway stamped her authority on this contest after the penultimate fence under Eoin O’Brien before running out a four-length victor over Always Able.
