Kimbay continues to go from strength to strength and she made it three on the bounce for Iggy Lawlor, Willie Hynes and Rory Cleary in the Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

Lawlor has care of the Windsor Knot filly for Hynes and as was the case here in early September and at the Listowel Festival, Cleary again took the reins.

On outing number three for her Kildare handler, Kimbay remains unbeaten, the 3/1 market-leader getting the better of Ability N Delivery by half a length.

"She'll be here for the winter and she'll come back in two or three weeks time for another handicap. She needs good ground," said Lawlor.

Meanwhile Dunshaughlin, County Meath-based Galway native Hynes stated: "She's very honest and she does her job. She's moving up nicely and she's taking the extra weight on well.

"I thought she was caught but she pulled out more – she doesn't like to be passed." (MG & EM)
