Johnny Murtagh has started the season with his team in great form and the Curragh trainer added two more, both ridden by Ben Coen, to his tally on Thursday at Tipperary.

Onemoredance sealed the first leg by running out a comfortable winner of the Tipperary Handicap. Drawn quite wide, Coen ensured his mount was well away and in the box seat from an early stage as The Black Stuff set the fractions. The winner, a 2-1 chance, moved up early in the straight and soon had matters in hand.
