Easy to back Screen Siren (17/2, having opened 9/2 this morning) was a decisive winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

A little slowly away, she was held up and got into a good rhythm for Mikey Sheehy before coming through to lead a furlong out.

She soon had the race in safe keeping and scored by a length and a half from Roxette (5/1).

The daughter of Slade Power had been a close-up third over course and distance on her previous outing and was getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking.

Winning trainer Sarah Lynam, who enjoyed a successful winter season at Dundalk, said: "I know the family well and have a good few of the relations at home. Dad has her brother Linus Larrabee and there is a full sister to come to me later in the year so I'm delighted.

"She was a little weak last year but has strengthened up, is learning and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with her.

"I have really cut down my numbers and last year I was giving everything multiple chances. Even bringing a box of them up here costs a fortune and I believe in being honest with the owners and I don't want to be a busy fool.

"I said if they weren't going to be competitive I don't need them and I put a lot of work into rehoming them. I've found many nice homes, and while some are nice pets, I've sent horses to polo-crosse and others are now jumping poles, so it is worth the effort.

"I have eight riding out, would love a few more but nice horses bring each other on and if they were all like this filly I'd be happy enough."
