< Pincode produced a gutsy effort to land the Purcell Properties Rated Race at Tramore.
Patrick Prendergast's charge was giving weight all round, including 10lb to Three Colours Red who led the field for much of the contest.
Pincode (8-13 favourite) always travelled well for Fran Berry, though, and took up the running over a furlong out before going on to score by a length and a half.
That gave Berry the first leg of a double, which was finished off in emphatic fashion by Henry's Girl in the Christine Hadfield Memorial Handicap.
John Kiely's 2-1 favourite was travelling much the best on the final turn and soon shot clear, beating Carried by two and three-quarter lengths.< Recollection finished fast and late to come out on top in a thrilling finish to the Ashtown House Stud EBF Fillies Maiden.
Our Rachel, Nicaragua and Faseeha all had a spell in the lead in the final furlong but Shane Foley saved the best for last on Ken Condon's 4-1 chance flying up the outside to score by a head from Nicaragua.
Foley completed his own double when guiding home Seamus Fahey's Hazariban (5-1) in the Dan Cowman Memorial Handicap.
Willie McCreery's Nanamour proved to have more determination than favourite Creative Talent in the Perennial Freight Maiden.
The writing looked on the wall for Nanamour (9-2) as the market leader cruised upsides, but he did not find as much for pressure and Leigh Roche drove the winner home to score by a short head.
Robbie Hennessy's Magnetic Force (7-1) positively bolted up in the Assembly Techniques Handicap, charging clear from over a furlong out under Colin Keane to beat Mr Boss Man by seven lengths.
Pat Flynn's Madamoiselle Penny (10-1) got the better of a real tussle with High Kicker to land the Have Your Wedding At The Strand Inn Handicap by half a length under Danny Grant.
