Bought by Martin Flinter for 11,000 Euros at Goffs on February 16th, having won here on February 10th, Cailin Coillteach provided an immediate return on that investment by landing the Ladbrokes.com Mobile App Handicap.
Previously with Andy Oliver, the Woodman filly got there with a last gasp effort here under Fergal Lynch, outpointing Forbidden City by half a length.
Willie McCreery now trains Cailin Coillteach and he joked: "I'm some trainer aren't I?
He continued: "I only got her last Thursday (February 16th). She's 100% fit but to me she's only learning how to race.
"She's a small filly and I told Fergal not to get into trouble as if she got a shoulder she could go flying.
"We'll probably come back here with her now.
"The owners are great Kildare supporters, they're not too far from Naas, between there and Kilcullen." (AM & EM)
