Minx Tiara (7/1) followed up her victory in a Listed hurdle at Killarney when making all under Sean Flanagan in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap Hurdle.

The nine-year-old, owned by the Fastey For Fun Syndicate, was recording her seventh win and had a length and a quarter to spare over Senecia

Trainer David O'Brien said: "She is maturing with age and being in foal (to Hurricane Lane) seems to have got her to finish out her races better. She was always a great mare but just wasn't able to finish out her races.

"The handicapper was fair to her after she won the last day and there is now a 0-140 E80,000 race for her in Galway. She is in such good form that she might run in that and that will be her last race.

"She has been a great servant for our small yard and has taken us to places we only dreamed of - she finished second in Leopardstown and has run against the big boys. To have a winner in Killarney and here is fantastic and she is owned by a great bunch of lads."
