Cailin Mor justified 11/4 favouritism by staying on well to deliver in the fillies' handicap in Cork over an extended mile.

Sean Corby made the decisive move at the two pole when he switched her left from sixth place and she came with a strong run to lead over a furlong from home.

The three-year-old filly powered away and readily put the race to bed by two and a half lengths. Ringside Humour (7/1) kept on for second under Kevin Manning.

Michael Halford said: "She handles an ease well and is settling better with her races.

"She is a grand, consistent filly and Sean (Corby) is great value for his 5lbs claim. We'll start her off next year in the Lincoln."
