Declan Queally's Robyndeglory backed up her mares' maiden hurdle victory in Killarney last month to take the Bruff Handicap Hurdle in Limerick.

She was back up in trip for this two mile five contest and worked her way to the front entering the home straight.

The six-year-old mare soon came off the bridle but found plenty to assert between the last two hurdles.

The 4/1 joint favourite was driven out to account for a keeping-on The Higher Road (18/1) by a length and a quarter. Nicole's Milan completed the placings in third at 28/1.

Jockey Declan Queally, riding his first winner since turning professional, said: “That was great. Her form in maiden hurdles was very good and to be fair to the handicapper, he held her at 102 when she was just always knocking at the door. She’s been called a lot of names by lads backing her at short prices, but the visor has changed her.

"And this is great for Neil O’Mahony (owner) because he’s my main supporter. He’d have four or five in the yard the whole time.”

Robyndeglory has sported a visor in both of her victories.
