Joseph O'Brien's Detailed won a final-furlong battle with Cannonball to take the Listed Martin Molony Stakes over an extended mile and a half in Limerick.

Cannonball and Colin Keane got a lovely run up the inner to pick up the lead over two furlongs out.

Detailed and Wayne Lordan unleashed their challenge on the outer over a furlong from home.

Cannonball refused to yield on the inner though and fought well but it was Detailed who got his measure close home to get up by half a length at 7/2.

Jockey Wayne Lordan said: "She is a progressive filly that is very tough and ran a very solid race in Doncaster. I spoke to Joseph this morning and he was delighted with her at home and said she bounced out of her Doncaster run very well.

"She handles that ground and with fillies like her you don't know where they'll end up and it's a good win for her and she's a Listed winner now." Zawraq the 5/4 favourite, weakened out of contention in the final quarter of a mile. He was found to be lame on his right fore.

This was Detailed fourth win of 2017. In addition, she was a close fourth in a Group Two at Doncaster last month.
