Dundalk specialist Grey Danube picked up the biggest prize of his career when he won on the all-weather track for the sixth time in the feature Ladbrokes Download The App Handicap.

Darren Bunyan's six-year-old was raised back up to a career-high mark of 85 after winning in December and showed he is better than ever with a ready victory in what looked a competitive race.

Leigh Roche slipped across to the inside rail in the straight and the 13-2 chance hit the front along with Have A Nice Day down the centre of the track, the pair coming away from the opposition before Grey Danube got the better of his rival by half a length.< Marise did enough when third on her introduction in mid-December to indicate she was capable of tucking away an all-weather contest and so it proved as Tom McCourt's filly got the better of a duel with Maira in the Ladbrokes Fillies Maiden.

The pair took over from pacesetting favourite Bairns At Bay heading to the furlong pole and Marise (11-2) showed a good attitude to score by half a length under Connor King.

Willie Martin's filly Mystical Past (9-4 favourite) had suggested she was up to winning a modest event and with the Ladbrokes Maiden fitting the bill, she was always in the first two before clearing away to score by five and a half lengths in the hands of Shane Foley.

Punters burnt their fingers on Poker Gold s first start for the Willie Mullins yard, but they got the money back as Danny Mullins drove the 4-1 shot clear in the Ladbrokes 'Bet With The App' Handicap and held off the charging Cristy's Call by a short head.< Tom Dooley has plunged down the ratings and Mick Mulvany's 20-1 shot finally made the most of it by taking the Ladbrokes Handicap, grabbing Shabra Emperor in the final furlong to win by three-quarters of a length under Mick Hussey.

Danny Redmond kept Jim Bolger's 7-2 shot Sparanai going from the front to win the Ladbrokes Apprentice Handicap, while Gordon Elliott's Knight's Parade (8-1) forged well clear under Lisa O'Neill in the Ladbrokes (QR) Handicap.
