The Folkes Choice flies a fence at Tramore© Photo Healy Racing
The Follow Us On Twitter @TramoreRaces Beginners Chase rather fell apart with three departures at the fifth fence but favourite backers will have enjoyed the two miler as the well-backed The Folkes Choice (5/4 into 4/5) scored convincingly under Andrew Lynch.
Henry De Bromhead 's representative made all but she might have frightened her connections and supporters with her jumping early on.
However she was always looking good up front, barring accidents, until Coldstonesober came to her at the second last.
Once Lynch asked his mount for a bit more, she readily asserted to triumph by five lengths.
De Bromhead explained: "I'm happy with that even though she broke the first fence which is unlike her.
"I was a bit disappointed with her jumping but Andrew was happy with her.
"She'll be better on better ground and I saw this race as early as February. I got excited about it then.
"We'll try and get a bit of black-type for her now.
"The Grade 3 in Roscommon will be a target for her. Hopefully she'll have better ground then.
"She's a cousin to Special Tiara (Aintree Grade 1 hero) and she's a full-sister to Royal Choice who won around here too.
"My uncle, David Young, owns her and he bred her as well." (DM & EM)
