In-form Theriverrunsdeep made it three victories from her last four outings in Dundalk when coming home strongly in the nightcap.

The five-year-old Camacho mare was produced down the outside by Seamie Heffernan to pick off her rivals inside the final furlong of the View Restaurant At Dundalk Handicap.

She was driven out to prevail by two lengths at 9/2 from Acquiescent (10/1). Twilight Man (50/1) put in a good shift and was pipped for second by a head.

Heffernan said: “Seamus (O'Donnell, trainer) actually has a broken leg at the moment but he's one of the hardest workers and I'm delighted that I can ride a winner for him again. It'll give him a lift."

“She's just a filly that has strengthened up and is handling the track, the blinkers have helped as well.

“Hopefully she can keep improving, she won well tonight.”

Theriverrunsdeep was backed in from a morning price of 10/1.
