It was slow-motion stuff at the end of the second split of the 1m6f handicap apart from Molly Kaye who found most out wide to get up by a head.

The 22/1 shot was kept wide in the closing stages by Dylan Browne McMonagle and grabbed an all-out Intend on the line.

The runner-up went off 7/1 and in a bunch finish was followed home by Stellify (18/1) and 3/1 favourite Golden Export, a further length back.

This gave Browne McMonagle a double on the card as he took division one of this race on well-backed Secret Secret (7/2). The double paid 102.5/1.

Trainer Shane Duffy said: “She’s tough and she’s hardy, and stays galloping.

“I ran her over a mile and a half the last day in Bellewstown and Chris (Hayes) said there is a mile and six coming up in Navan, go for it and she’ll win.

“The big galloping track here really suited her and I’m delighted for the owners, Garry Fleming and his wife Maj, who have stuck with me through thick and thin.

“She’ll go back hurdling and she likes that cut in the ground. She’s getting on in age and has a few little issues but we’re minding her like a baby.”

Owing to ground conditions, this race was started by flag.
