Less on time where it matters

Less Of That may have been late to the start in the nine-furlong handicap at Tipperary but came home well ahead of her rivals.

John Feane 's charge was sent off the 7/2 favourite and travelled strongly for Shane Foley throughout.

She was produced to lead a furlong-and-a-half from home and soon asserted. The Canford Cliffs filly had a length-and-a-quarter to spare over 25/1 shot Heart Of Gold at the line.

“I'm delighted she won. Our horses are running okay but we need a couple of winners now to keep kicking for the rest of the year,” said Feane.

“She won easy but was probably entitled to win that. She stays well and we'll see what the handicapper does, he probably won't be easy on her.

“She was late into the parade ring as she gave us a bit of hassle getting the tack on her, but she'll be grand.

“She'll go on that ground and will be okay as long as it's not too quick. She has ability and the cheekpieces probably helped her.”
