Co. Wicklow-based Miley commented: "She was my first winner when she won at Cork in April 2007. She got injured that day so it is great to have her back and get another win out of her. We had blinkers on her the last day which may have driven her mad. We have no plans."
Afterburn, a ten-year-old mare, was following up the win half-an-hour before of Cailin Alainn the same age, who beat the geldings in the Kinloch Brae. (EM)
