Cool Saint collared Ifyoucatchmenow on the run-in of the mares' maiden hurdle at Limerick to land a major plunge.

The five-year-old was backed from 25/1 to 6/1 this morning and went off at 5/1.

She came with a wet sail to grab Ifyoucatchmenow who looked home for all money but ultimately went down by a length at 4/1. Mag Brady also had her supporters from 8/1 to 11/2 and they were rewarded with an each-way dividend in third.

Cool Saint gave Henry de Bromhead an across-the-card double as Paloma Blue won the second race in Leopardstown.

Jockey Dylan Robinson said: “The horses are flying at the moment and we’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

“She travelled everywhere, and as soon as I pushed the button she went about her business and did it easy enough in the end.”
