< Tamarind (20-1) led home an Aidan O'Brien 1-2 in the Group Three Ladbrokes Give Thanks Stakes at Cork.
The daughter of Sadler's Wells had gained a confidence-boosting win at Tipperary on her third appearance but was ridden by Colm O'Donoghue, with Johnny Murtagh preferring stablemate Perfect Truth
The Ballydoyle fillies made their challenges in unison, while Beauty O'Gwaun and Dance Pass ran on from the rear, but O'Donoghue's mount found most for pressure and scored going away by a length and a half.< Latin Love gained that all-important Listed win when making all the running under Wayne Lordan in the Platinum Stakes.
David Wachman's filly had beaten all bar She's Our Mark on her previous outing but she was allowed to go off at 9-2 in a similar contest.< Oh Goodness Me tried to reel her in in the final quarter-mile, but Latin Love had plenty in reserve and sailed across the line a length and three-quarters to the good.< Aseasyas got off the mark for the season with a gutsy performance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
The Augustine Leahy-trained 14-1 shot was in the handicapper's grip at the start of the campaign, but recent efforts have been more positive and she held the renewed threat of Eytarna by three-quarters of a length.< Mutadarek has been costly to follow at times but that didn't deter punters, who piled in to make him the 11-2 second-favourite for the Newmarket Handicap.
And, this time, he didn't disappoint as he hit the front with a quarter of a mile to travel and careered away to account for Well Insured by three and a half lengths.
The jumping action featured Total Excitement breaking his duck over timber. The 13-8 shot saw off Declan's Lad and odds-on favourite Next Week in the Killetra Maiden Hurdle, while Windix (6-1 joint-favourite) hit the front after landing over two out en route to landing the Cork Handicap Hurdle.
