Theriverrunsdeep skipped clear of her rivals down the stands' side to annex the five furlong handicap at Naas.

Wesley Joyce 's mount was in no mood to relent in the final furlong as she put three and a-quarter lengths on a keeping-on Sunday Sovereign (12/1) who was the subject of good support this morning.

The places were rounded out by 4/1 favourite Mymomentintime and Stopitnowjulia (33/1).

Seamus O’Donnell said: “The stand side looked a good place to be from the last race (50/1 winner Shandy .

"She was frustrating a couple of times this summer as she got upset in the stalls and a couple of times she was unlucky in running. A couple of times she should have been placed and she wasn’t but that’s racing.

“She’s a Dundalk specialist so she goes on quickish ground. Now that she’s got her head in front again, we might be on a bit of a winning curve.”

This was Theriverrunsdeep's first turf success to go with five on the Polytrack at Dundalk.
