Presenting Bonnie landed her third win at Kilbeggan when claiming the Bloomfield House Hotel Handicap Hurdle at the midlands venue this afternoon.

The John Ryan-trained mare had disappointed on her last couple of outings but came into the two-mile-two contest in fine form today.

Bryan Cooper held his mount up before taking closer order on the 8/1 shot over the second last.

The daughter of Presenting was soon challenging on the outer and was driven into the lead from Turbo before the final flight, going on to record a comprehensive five-and-a-half length win.

“She's a good mare. She just went off form as she was in season consistently and I couldn't get her cycle right,” said Ryan.

“I knew coming here she had a serious chance. It's her third win here and she likes the place, she'll win again here.”
