Nolan gets his customary Wexford winner It's rare for a Wexford meeting to take place without Paul Nolan getting on the scoresheet winner and the Enniscorthy handler duly came up with a nice-priced winner for his many local supporters when Rue Taylor (12/1) took the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase over two miles, seven furlongs. A hurdles winner here last year, the blinkered French-bred was on and off the bridle from early and came from well off the pace to get the better of a good tussle on the run-in with Teenage Kiss. Owned by Anne Coffey and Susan Spence, Nolan's six-year-old shaded the verdict by a neck on her first start in a handicap, with the first two well clear of the remainder. "She just does enough," said rider Carl Millar. "She always races behind the bridle, but they were going a good gallop in front and she's a super jumper. I was hoping her jumping might just keep her there all the way. "In fairness to her, she showed good guts at the back of the last. She put down her head and galloped to the line. I think it'll do her confidence the world of good, if anything, and we'll see what happens next." Additional reporting by John O'Riordan
