Kevin Prendergast's Woodcock Flight saw off Dance Night Andday by a diminishing head to land the Golf At Gowran Park Handicap for Kevin Prendergast.

The 3/1 shot led his five rivals into the straight for Scott McCullagh who pushed him along to assert approaching the final furlong.

Dance Night Andday, the 9/4 favourite, loomed large racing into the final furlong and she finished well in the closing stages, but went down by a head at the finish.

McCullagh said: “It’s nice to back up the last run. He seems like a horse that is improving with racing.

“He enjoys being in front and has a good cruise. He quickens up but then levels off in the last furlong. Gary (Carroll, on Dance Night Andday) came at me quick and fast and I didn’t know if I’d held on.

“I’m delighted to get another one on the board for Mr Prendergast. I go in there every Saturday for first lot.”

Woodcock Flight was victorious in a maiden at Bellewstown on his last start at the end of August.
