Royal back wth a bang Old Theatre Royal pulled away in the closing stages to run out a cosy winner of the two-mile handicap hurdle at Tramore. Brian O'Connell produced his mount with a well-timed run to lead at the second last and he stretched clear from the final flight to record a eight-length victory over Burnfort Girl. Lorcan Donnelly's charge was making his first start since November and is set to turn out again next week. "Brian gave him a beautiful ride and he did it nicely," said Donnelly. "It wasn't the best of races but he's good in his own category. He might run again next Friday at Wexford."
