James took eight seconds off his Tipperary rival in the opening stage, only for Lambert to grab them back again on the second stage.

A major side-bet has been in place since last month's event as to who will get the upper hand in this one - remember both had their chances to win in Wexford over the past few years, only to suffer catastrophe each time on the final stage.

Lambert was said to be highly peeved at the amount of time the Goreyman had over him last month, and swore revenge in this rally.

Now, it's down to the final stage yet again.

Fermanagh's Philip Shaw drops to third - even though he improved his time by two seconds.

He's only three seconds off the lead.

Carlow's John Nolan lies fourth in his Escort a further 19 seconds back, with Willie Fannin of Dublin in fifth, partnered by Brian Duggan in his Evo 6.
