After taking the third with Popong High School Days completed a double at Wexford for Henry de Bromhead, as she ran out an easy winner of the Vinegar Hill Mares Beginners Chase.

Successful three times in 2017, the American bred chestnut failed to win in sixth starts last year, but was placed in a Grade 3 at Cork in December.

In what was weak contest, she was sent off the even money favourite this evening under Sean Flanagan.

Settled in second, the chestnut six-year-old moved through to lead after the three out and soon went a few lengths clear, keeping on well in the straight to score easily.

The front-running Tell Me Annie (6/4) was four lengths back in second under Darragh O'Keeffe, while Mega Mindy was third.

Flanagan said afterwards: "It was very straightforward. I got a lovely lead off Tell Me Annie. I only made one mistake at the one up the top. She done it very convincingly and I was very happy with her."
