Merroir continued Joseph O’Brien’s rich vein of form and provided Donegal teenager Dylan Browne McMonagle with the second leg of a 15/1 double when landing the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap in Ballinrobe.

A tough stayer, Merroir, in the colours of her owner Max Morris, was registering her second win, keeping Port Sunlight at bay by a half-length, with the pair stretching clear of the remainder.
