Cin Cin followed up on her recent win at Wexford as she took the Like Us On Facebook Handicap under Emmet McNamara for Andrew Heffernan.
The daughter of Exceed And Excel won her maiden at the Festival last August and she got off the mark in handicap company, in first time cheekpieces, at Wexford last month.
Sent off the 2/1 favourite this evening she chased the leaders for much of the contest and was third at the halfway stage.
She was ridden to from two furlongs out and soon challenged, keeping on best inside the final furlong to lead close home, going on to score by half a length at the line. Prospectorous (20/1) ran his best race for a while to finished second under Luke Dempsey for his father Philip, while Stynes was a further length and a three parts back in third under Gary Halpin for John McConnell at 5/1.
Andrew Heffernan said afterwards: "She won in spite of the handicapper (went up six pounds for winning at Wexford). She is tough and she is improving. I have no clear idea where she will go next."
