Singsong Lady bounced back to winning ways when claiming the three-year-old handicap at Dundalk this evening.

The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly had won her maiden here in January before losing a race in the stewards room the following month.

On her most recent start, earlier this month, she faded to finish ninth in a mile handicap here but was back to her best this time.

Conor Maxwell 's mount had to squeeze through a gap a furlong-and-a-half out before being nursed into the lead inside the final furlong.

The 11/4 shot always looked to be in control late on as she recorded a neck victory over Aristovic

Cromwell said: "She's probably a filly that doesn't do a whole pile when she gets there. She needs to be delivered late.

"She's a smashing big filly and loads of scope. Hopefully she can go on again from this.

"She'll run on the turf and would want nice ground, I wouldn't be running her with much of an ease."
