Polly Ella was another who appreciated the return to Dundalk when running out a convincing winner of the second division of the ten furlong handicap.

In-form jockey Chris Hayes produced his mount to lead a furlong out and she had things in control from there.

The Night Shift mare kept on well to record a length-and-a-quarter success over Noverre Princess

The winner had scored here back in May and had run well at Down Royal last time when just fading late on in fifth.

"She done it well. She was probably unlucky on her last run when she hit the front too soon," said trainer Harry Rogers.

"Chris was confident on her and I thought she would win if things went right. The horses are running well at the moment.

"She wasn't getting her ground on the Turf. She's only ordinary but will win races around here and we'll keep her on the go."
