The Fog Horn came out on the right side of a photograph with 125/1 outsider Kodihill in the first split of the Coast To Curragh Charity Cycle Handicap in Gowran Park.

She had fended them all off from the front, but third-reserve Kodihill made it interesting as she took aim in the latter stages.

Easy-to-back The Fog Horn prevailed at 10/1 from the runner-up with Whatharm three-parts of a length back in third at 11/1.

Trainer Seamus O’Donnell said: “She likes it here and liked the better ground today. It was a bit too soft the last day.

“James (Ryan) gave her a lovely ride out in front with the blinkers on and she’d a good draw.

“We’ll see what the handicapper does. He gave her 12lb for winning here before, so we claimed off her and it made a difference today.”

Both of The Fog Horn's victories have come in Gowran Park.
