Lomi's Law and Emmet McNamara looked like they'd given the opposition the slip in the final quarter mile of division two of the Coral.ie Money Back If Your Horse Is Beaten By A Length Handicap at Cork. However the Lawman filly had no more to give and dropped to third near the line as Fairy Flute scored from Tamisa

Declan McDonogh rode Fairy Flute for the executors of the late Jacqueline O'Brien. Her son Charles trains the Peintre Celebre filly.

She was a 7/1 chance and on outing number eight she was shedding her maiden this time, upped to this extended mile for the initial occasion. The four-year-old was also operating off her lowest rating, a mark of 54.

Fairy Flute reportedly matched at odds of 1,000 in running on Betfair for 55 Euros.

The Stewards informed John Joseph Murphy, trainer that Mizen Master would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.
