Landsdowne gained a deserved success when claiming the seven-furlong handicap at Cork.

Tracey Collins' charge had been runner-up on two starts this season but made no mistake this time.

Michael Hussey drove his mount into the lead a furlong-and-a-half out and he stuck on gamely in the closing stages.

25/1 shot Moscow Treat tried hard to throw down a challenge from over a furlong out but couldn't peg back the favourite, going down by half a length.

The winner proved popular on course, backed from 4/1 into 3/1.

"Michael was very good on him and needed to be strong," said Collins.

"He's so consistent and deserved that. I think he's already got his penalties!"

"We'll see how he comes out of this. He has two entries for next week (Naas & Gowran)."
