Jm Barrie made the breakthrough on his nineteenth start, as he got up on the line to take the Follow Us On Instagram Handicap.

Beaten by a neck on his most recent start at Dundalk, the David Marnane trained four-year-old was sent off a 9/1 chance this evening.

Towards rear in the early stages, the son of Sir Percy was involved in some scrimmaging from the two furlong pole when attempting to close.

Ridden over a furlong out, he soon got clear daylight and powered home in the closing stages, getting up on the line to prevail by a short head under Oisin Orr. Navorrosse was the one just denied, with the Paddy Harnett ridden 40/1 chance having to settle for second. Tipperary Moon (9/2) was another short head back in third, while Amazing One (10/1) completed the places in fourth. Burning Lake was sent off the 4/1 favourite and he finished seventh under James Doyle for Joseph Murray.

Marnane said afterwards: "I thought he was a little unlucky the last day and I thought he was unlucky there too if he didn't get it (in the photo-finish).

"I think he'll improve another bit, he wants fast ground and he'll go for something similar again next.

"His owners are a group in Dubai including (publican) Denis McGettigan and they're watching in - they'll have a drink tonight."
