The Willie Mullins trained Wood Breizh made all as he ran out a good winner of the Buy Online At TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap.

The grey son of Stormy River was sent off the 4/6 favourite with the defection of main market rival Hurricane Sky (going).

Sent straight to the front by Pat Smullen the Supreme Horse Racing Club owned gelding was ridden under two furlongs out and he soon stretched clear, going on to win by four and a half lengths. Atan kept on to take second under Billy Lee for Pat Flynn at 10/1.

Smullen said afterwards: "He got it handy in front and being a short priced favourite, it is grand the way the race went for him.

"The ground is fairly lively and while he is a good ground horse, was still feeling it a little."
