The runners fanned out across the track in the latter stages of the small field Dundalk Stadium-Light Up Your Night Maiden, as many of them still held chances late. It was 33/1 outsider of the six, Loyalty Card that in the end proved strongest, under Wayne Lordan.

Austin Leahy 's Loyalty Card was soon behind after dwelling at the stalls, but she took closer order five furlongs out.

The victorious daughter of Daylami ultimately headed the pace setting favourite, Holy Water a furlong out, before going on to win by two and a quarter lengths.

Leahy disclosed in the aftermath: "Every time she ran before she had an excuse and the small field here helped. She pottered around and picked up well.

"She jumps a hurdle well and likes firm ground. You'll probably see her jump a hurdle next." (GC & EM)
