Consistent in defeat since winning at Kilbeggan in June, More Info landed the mares handicap hurdle at 16/1 under Dan King.

Owner Tim Conroy's homebred by Scorpion was produced to lead at the second-last before being ridden clear to beat Magic Conqueror by two and a quarter lengths.

The eight-year-old's previous win, along with a Clonmel bumper victory in 2020, had come when under the care of Denis Hogan who was present at today's meeting.

The winner is now trained in Moneygall by Shauna Larkin who explained: "That's in-or-around my fifth runner and my first winner. I was very happy with her and she was working well. She deserved to win and I'm delighted for Tim who deserves every success he gets.

"She carried top weight in that ground and was well entitled to it."

She added: "Someone had to train Denis' (Hogan, whose licence is currently suspended) horses and I'm training from my own yard and got my licence last March.

"I have been working for Denis, on-and-off, for six or seven years and he recommended me to some of his owners, so I'm very grateful for that. I have a handful of his horses and I'm over the moon to get the winner.

"Denis (present earlier) is gone but this is brilliant for everyone."
