Hilary recorded her third win this year when readily defying top-weight in division one of the Friday Horse Racing Returns 26th September Handicap at Dundalk.

The Gerry Stack-trained mare travelled smoothly on the heels of the leaders, and the only worry for Killian Hennessy was whether he would get an opening.

The gap eventually emerged just over a furlong out, and it was plain sailing inside the final furlong as the seven-year-old comfortably beat Hoppsan by a length and a half. Bold Henmie was the same distance back in third, while Indigo Iris did very well to finish fourth having lost considerable ground at the start.

The stewards enquired into possible interference but the placings remained unaltered.
