Form Of Praise recorded doubles on the night for Ado McGuinness, Cian MacRedmond and owners Shamrock Thoroughbreds when getting on top late on in the three-year-old handicap at Dundalk.

The Mehmas filly had been second in a claimer on her last visit to the track but was easy to back tonight, from 5/1 out to 11/1.

MacRedmond produced his mount to challenge a furlong-and-a-half from home and she soon settled down to duel it out with Cherry Blossom.

Form Of Praise just found a bit more close home to record a half length success.

Assistant Stephen Thorne said: "Like I said we have been minding this lad's (MacRedmond) claim so hopefully this kicks him off. I just hope he has a great season ahead.

"He'll have a good ride in the Lincolnshire on Saturday where we have a good team of horses.

"Double tonight and we are over the moon.

"She's a tough filly. We let Satin Snake get first run on us the last night and we were happy to be a bit more forward. We changed tactics and it worked. The cheekpieces definitely helped her.

"Michael Doyle and Alice Fitzgerald are a big part-owners in this horse, they bred the filly and I'm delighted for them."
