Ever Rock is ridden out by Seamie Heffernan© Photo Healy Racing
The James Lambe trained Ever Rock made virtually all to win the Book Tickets Online @fairyhouse.ie Handicap.
Twice successful last year, the six-year-old was third on her return to action at Sligo earlier this month and was sent off at 12/1 this evening.
Soon in front under Seamie Heffernan, the daughter of Society Rock was ridden and pressed from the two furlong pole.
She found plenty for pressure and kept up the gallop in the final furlong, coming home a length-and-a-quarter to the good. Cnodian (8/1) came through to take second under Nathan Crosse for Willie McCreery, while Inventor who was returned the 7/2 favourite, was another length-and-a-quarter back in third. Teddy Boy (11/2) ran his usual consistent race and completed the places a short-head away in fourth.
"We're very happy with her. She seemed to be in good order and it looks like she's improved a little bit from Sligo," said Lambe, who was leading up his winner.
