The Pat Flynn trained Shaaden backed up her recent success over course and distance when running out an easy winner of Division ll of the Dundalk Stadium Gift Vouchers Available Online Handicap.

Again, ridden by Billy Lee, the well supported 5/4f credited owner Glen Norris with a second success in recent weeks.

Tracking the leaders from the outset, Lee moved closer to the pace early in the straight, producing his mount to challenge leader Wild Mountain well over a furlong out.

Once getting to the front, the four-year-old soon skipped clear for a comfortable two-and-a-half length win over the staying on Harry The Rogue

Glen Norris said: "She is great, Pat's horses are in great form.

"I was kind of more confident coming here today than I was last week. I saw her in the yard yesterday and I got a great vibe off her.

"Travelled up in the box lovely, behaved below in the stableyard, behaved in the stalls and everything was good.

"Billy said even going to the start that she felt really, really well. He was confident too.

"We have to come back now, we will keep going until we can't come back! Whatever Pat says really. Pat was sweet (on her).

"I knew when she put it together the last time she was here, that she would go forward afterwards and that is what she has done.

"I don't mind (that she will be out of this grade) - she has won two now and our options are open with breeding and everything else."
