Tommy Stack recorded a quick double at Limerick when Cnocan Diva ran out a game winner of the mile handicap. Prince Jock looked set to collect when hitting the front a furlong-and-a-half from home but was worn down in the closing stages.

Shane Gray got a good tune from his mount who stuck his head in front where it mattered to win it by half-a-length.

It was compensation for Gray, who had just lost out on the Stack-trained Penniston Line in the opening contest.

"She's got a bit stronger since last year - she was a big weak filly," said Fozzy Stack afterwards.

"She wants a bit of ease in the ground. It's good to get a winner for the owners (Newtown Anner Stud)."
