John Oxx's My Snowdrop enjoyed her first venture into handicap company with a decisive victory over seven furlongs at Listowel.

Niall McCullagh sent her past Premier League with less than two furlongs to travel and she was soon in charge.

The final furlong saw her increase her advantage to hit the line three and a quarter lengths to the good at 7/1. Mnemonic Alexander the heavily backed 7/2 favourite, put in good late work to get up for second.

It was Premier League who dropped to third at 4/1.

John Oxx said: "She goes on soft and I don't think ground, as long as it's not firm, makes a lot of difference to her. She went on it (soft) but she has probably improved a bit with her racing and she was quite good there.

"That is a good trip there as she doesn't seem to stay a mile and maybe she could run six, I'm not sure. She handled the track well, is speedy and well balanced and maybe she has improved a little bit.

"That is her league but she is a winner and we'll keep going in that grade."
