Shane Foley, setting the pace in the jockeys title race, moved on to 39 winners for the season when Cliara gave him a double on the card at Ballinrobe tonight.

John McConnell 's charge went off 3/1 favourite in the first division of the mile-and-a-half handicap and just prevailed in a tight finish.

The Morpheus filly lunged to take a narrow lead inside the final furlong and just held For Everyone by a head at the line. Allora Yeats also finished off well, another half-length back in third.

“"She had a very good run in Leopardstown and we freshened her up for this and we had the right man on board," said McConnell.

 

"She was a cheap filly and it's great to get a second win out of her as the owners are good people.”
