His first success may have been easy-to-back 11/1 shot, Shinyhappyjohn but Donnacha O'Brien's second winner was much more expected as 7/4 favourite Song Of Love (first-time cheek-pieces) took the XL Handicap at Dundalk.

Owned, trained and bred by Donnacha's parents, Annmarie and Aidan, Song Of Love was backed in from 4/1 this morning, and he came through from mid-division to lead early in the final furlong.

From there he kept on well to defeat Vocal Warm Up by a length and a quarter.

The O'Briens were also responsible for the third home, Absorbing partnered by Ana.

"He did it well and has plenty of ability. He's a lovely big strong horse," said the winning rider.

"The last day it didn't really play out for him. He has plenty of pace and travels and quickens. I'm sure he'll go on to more things and he's for sale." (GC & EM)
