Laganore demolished her rivals in the mile handicap at Leopardstown as she sliced through to win going away by two and three quarter lengths.

Jockey Danny Grant wound up his challenge in fifth place with over a furlong to negotiate. The pair soon bounded through into second and hit the front inside the final 100 yards.

Nothing could go with them as they flashed home at 4/1 from the 10/3 favourite Expreso Brasileiro Club Wexford (12/1) was half a length further adrift in third.

Trainer Tony Martin said: "She was very unlucky at Galway and it was my fault at Killarney as the ground was a bit too quick for her.

"The bit of ease helped her today, and we'll put her away now and come back in the spring."
