Andrew Lynch is enjoying a terrific night at Tramore and completed a treble on the card when guiding Miss Peacetime to success in the 2m5f handicap hurdle.

Henry de Bromhead's charge tracked the leaders before taking over from long-time leader Change The Rules going to the second last.

Rebel Cry looked a big danger approaching the final flight but couldn't peg back the 6/1 winner on the run-in as she posted a half length success.

The winner had been third on her handicap debut at Cork last month on much softer ground.

"I'm delighted with that. She jumped really well and I'd say the ground really helped her," said de Bromhead.

"She ran well at Cork but she looked very one paced that day. I think it was more the ground that caught her out that day.

"She will continue in these type of races and I think she will stay all day.

"She will stick to hurdling and we will look at fences at some stage. She was third in a point-to-point and she jumps really well.

"She is own by a group of guys from all over but Brian Dowley is my main point of contact. He is a pig farmer from Carrick On-Suir originally but he is now based near Gorey."

Lynch also landed the opening two races and was narrowly denied in the third.
