The 10/11 favourite Brooklyn Glory was a very easy winner of Mallow Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race.
The daughter of Fame And Glory led early until headed with a circuit to race by the keen-going Powerful Out (7/2).
Moving upsides that rival two furlongs out, Willie Mullins’ charge was quickly clear and went away to win by 17 lengths. Powerful Out, in turn, finished sixteen lengths ahead of third home Sit Down Lucy (8/1).
Winning rider Patrick Mullins commented: "To be honest I was disappointed with her at Listowel (won there on debut by four and a half lengths), that's what I thought she'd do at Listowel. We probably didn't go fast enough then as she gallops and gallops.
"She wears a hood because she used to be a bit giddy but is much better now. We think she could be good and she handles soft ground.
"I imagine she could be one for the Graded bumper at Navan if it doesn't come too soon and I'd be hoping she'd stay to bumpers this year.
“It is hard to change this late in the season to hurdles and there is a great programme for her in bumpers - I think she has the class to go for races like the Aintree Bumper.
"She has plenty of size and scope and will jump a fence in time if they want."
