Ado McGuinness and Adam Caffrey teamed up for a 33/1 plus double at Dundalk as Galician Girl took the Sky Bet Handicap in fine style.
The Phoenix Of Spain filly confirmed the promise of her handicap debut third here earlier this month and travelled well to challenge early in the straight.
The 7/1 shot led over a furlong out and was well on top at the line in beating Blue Soul by two and a half lengths. Fivecromwellplace was a further neck away in third.
Caffrey and McGuinness were also on the mark earlier with Apache Outlaw
McGuinness said, “She's a good filly, look at the size of her - She's about 16.2/16.3hh. I think she is going to make into a very good hurdler.
"A bunch of Irish guys in America own her, they are builders. They are great fun and they were over for Cheltenham last week. I was chatting to them and I told them I thought she would run a massive big race.
"She ran very well here in her first handicap and I do think she will improve again.
"I'm looking forward to her for the summer when I get her out on grass and then she will definitely go hurdling. I still have the trainer's licence over jumps, so I'll see if she goes hurdling for me. The boys have horses with Gordon (Elliott) as well, so she could end up in Gordon's."
