Gibney strikes with Never

Neverfindanother U pulled out plenty in the closing stages to land the 47-65 handicap over the extended ten furlongs at Dundalk.

Robert Whearty challenged wide in the straight on the Tom Gibney-trained filly and she had a narrow lead passing the furlong pole.

11/4 favourite Happaugue pressed hard in the closing stages but couldn't find a way past as Neverfindanother U stuck her head out to gain a half length success.

The 7/2 winner was going one better having gone down by the same margin to the well backed Deluca Chop here just under three weeks ago.

“It was (a fair effort from stall 16), we were worried about the draw,” said Gibney.

"I'm thrilled for Leo (Reilly, owner) as she's a home-bred filly.

"There was plenty of merit in her last run and she is improving with her racing. She is getting to know her job.

"She handles a cut in the ground, so we are kind of looking forward to going to the grass."
