The consistent Amemri bagged another course and distance win when claiming the second division of the 47-65 seven-furlong handicap at Dundalk.

David Marnane 's charge was held up in mid-division by Luke McAteer before being asked to make up ground a furlong-and-a-half from home.

The 15/2 shot stayed on to lead in the final 100 yards and post a length success over Trishuli River

Amemri, a daughter of Time Test, also won at the track in March and had added a turf win at Limerick in June.

McAteer said: "Her last run in Cork was good, I was happy with her that day. I thought she would improve from the run

"Switched off, good gallop, and I was hoping to be last to play my card. I probably still was, but there was nothing leading me along. She did it well.

"Hopefully she can keep improving, she's a strong filly.

"She was down to a winnable mark again.

"She handles the surface very well and quickened up nicely, so hopefully she can step through the grades.

"I would rather come back a furlong than up, she travels really sweetly.

"That's 23 winners on the board (this season). I'm two behind my best season."
