Ger Fox continued his recent good form when partnering Halls Bridge to success in the 2m6f handicap chase at Tramore.

Shane Ryder 's charge chased the leaders throughout before jumping into contention at the second last.

He went on from long-time leader Island Peak before the last and kept on well on the run-in to record a three-length victory.

The 10/1 winner was bouncing back to form having finished a well held fifth on his last outing at Downpatrick.

"That is his level and we will try to find something similar for him now. Hopefully Noel O'Brien (handicapper) won't be too hard on us," said Ryder, who was leading up his charge.

The Brian Boru gelding is owned and breed by Denis Hannon from Athlone.

Fox was riding his third winner in the last four days.
