Silver Service turned the 28-runner handicap, that closed the Curragh's card, into a procession with a wide-margin victory.

This six-furlong sprint looked more than competitive on paper, however, Silver Service (9/1) ran away from her rivals.

Gary Carroll steered her to the front over a furlong out and the three-year-old filly ran on strongly to put the race away.

She hit the line five and a half lengths up on heavily backed 5/2 favourite Pulse Of Shanghai Each-way players got a dividend from Tresorier (8/1) in third and fourth-placed Little Clarinet (10/1).

Trainer Mick Mulvany said: “She’s been missing the break and the handicapper was kind and dropped her. Gary said she handled the ground real well.

“The last day she travelled like a winner and didn’t get home (over a mile) and I’d say six or seven furlongs in that ground is her trip.

“She could go to Navan before the season ends.”
