In-form mare Coreczka swooped down the outside to land the 47-65 handicap over seven furlongs at Dundalk.

She was moved up from a mark of 58 to 62 for winning a mile handicap here two weeks ago. Oisin Orr was booked to take 7lbs off for tonight's assignment.

The five-year-old came with a strong run to beat 3/1 favourite Our Manekineko by half a length with 16/1 shot Oor Jock a neck back in third.

Plenty of bets were brought up on Coreczka who was backed in from 11/1 to 8/1.

'That's three winners from four runners. My two-horse yard is going well!” Claire Cannon said.

“She's overdue a break as she's been on the go for a while but it'll break my heart to give her a break while she's like that.

“She'll get a little breather and come back here. She loves this place. She's won twice over seven and once over a mile so she's versatile.”
