Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning doubled their score at Cork when Flight Risk (evens) sent favourite backers home happy by winning the finale, the Cork Racecourse Facebook Maiden.

Earlier Bolger and Manning combined for a winner with Sun On The Run in the featured Listed corkracecourse.ie Navigation Stakes and Flight Risk, a son of Teofilo, dropped back here from the Listed company that he kept himself at the Curragh last weekend.

Also up in trip to a mile, Flight Risk made his ground from mid-division on the outer two furlongs out.

He stayed on to challenge a furlong out before leading in the final 150 yards. The 'jolly' was all out close home to hold the fast-finishing 20/1 shot Dancing Soprano by half a length.

Manning remarked: "He got the trip well and handled the ground well. He deserved that." (AM & EM)
