 A race run at a muddling pace produced a decisive win for Aine Dubh, who was scoring for the third time over hurdles. The winner had finished a staying on sixth to Rapid Development on the Flat here on Monday night, when she was possibly unlucky not to have finished closer. She emphatically turned the tables on Pat Hughes six-year-old.
She raced second behind Farinel who dashed clear in the early stages and then slowed the tempo - and she went to the front before the second last. Ridden clear approaching the last, Aine Dubh stayed on well and according to her trainer Kevin O'Donnell, may revert to the Flat.
