Owner Sean Conroy saw his colours carried to success by Harangue at Worcester on Tuesday last and he was on the mark again when Baizically (11/2 into 9/2) made up for an agonising near-miss at Cartmel last time by taking the Dan Cowman Memorial Handicap Chase at Tramore under Brian Hayes.

The chestnut's trainer John 'Shark' Hanlon certainly deserved a change of luck too and it arrived with a comprehensive fifteen length victory.

Left in front by Flight Control s fall at the sixth, Baizically was soon clear and barring accidents he was going to prevail from some way out.

Eventually the blinkered ten-year-old son of Galileo came home fifteen lengths to the good from the favourite Naughty Molly

It was hardly a surprise to hear Hanlon say: "I'm so relieved to have a winner. My mother rang me on Monday and I said to her my luck has changed when the horse was okay (Old Kilcash got up after a last flight fall when looking a winner at Ballinrobe).

"I thought it would never come. We had sixteen seconds, fifteen in Ireland and one in England.

"It wasn't ideal the other horse (Flight Control) falling. We were supposed to get a lead.

"He's in again at Worcester on Tuesday and he'll go there." (DM & EM)
