Franno supplemented her Bellewstown success when obliging in the second split of the Thanks To Gordon Reilly From All At Fairyhouse Handicap.

The handicapper handed her 7lb for winning over a mile and six in Bellewstown, but Gerard Keane booked Sam Ewing to take 5lb off her back.

A mile and a half was the trip on offer and she travelled smoothly between horses to close on Final Endeavour at the two marker.

The Free Eagle filly was nudged along by Ewing to head the leader over a furlong from home and she asserted in the closing stages to win cosily by three and a quarter lengths at 4/1.

Final Endeavour finished second at 8/1 with Oh So Chic (9/1 - 13/2) in third.

Ewing said: “She probably improved for getting her head in front the last time, and got a bit of confidence.

“It wasn't a great race but she's done it well. She is what she is and hopefully she'll improve again from it.”
