Priced at even-money in morning wagering, Sansrisk was sent off 2/5 favourite for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse and landed the odds with the minimum of fuss when making virtually all under Keith Donoghue.

Trainer Philip Dempsey said: “She was the form horse and we were hoping she would come and do that. It was probably a weak enough race but it was great to get it.

“She’ll probably go to Down Royal now for the Feathard Lady Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade3 on November 1).”
