Runner-up at Galway earlier in the month, Presenting J went one better in the Shanahan Power-sponsored mares' bumper to complete a memorable day for 7lb conditional Michael O'Sullivan.

The Cork native had won the feature handicap hurdle on Magnor Glory (16/1) earlier and, having tracked longtime leader One For Lucy throughout, sent his mount past that one over a furlong out to score by a length and a quarter.

Presenting J was returned 12/1 to make it a 220/1 double for O'Sullivan.

Winning trainer Michael Kennedy said: "She had a very good run in Galway and mine tend to improve from run to run so we were hopeful as you could be today. Her dam won a bumper and her half-sister and half-brother both won bumpers for me.

"She is a handy little mare but is good and tough."
