A promising third on her most recent visit to the track, the Jessica Harrington trained Glitter And Glory went two places better when landing the concluding Now Racing Every Wednesday At Dundalk Handicap.

Stepping up to 10-furlongs for the first time, the daughter of Lucky Vega tracked the leaders under Patrick McGettigan before coming through to challenge Love Orchid at the furlong pole.

Keeping on best inside the final furlong, the 11/4 chance went away to win cosily by one-and-three-quarter lengths.

Assistant trainer Kate Harrington said: "She did it really, really well. Really happy with her.

"She won her maiden up here and she was a model of consistency on the turf. She was running in big handicaps - we were kind of going for the big pots with her, but she never ran a bad race.

"She's in a Tatts online sale next week. The syndicate rounds up after every two years, so they move on to two-year-olds now, She will be a really good, fun horse for someone. I don't think we have seen the best of her.

"She's strong now and really gets that trip. She could improve plenty again.

"Her full sister (Coral Cove) was beaten in a black-type race over a mile and a quarter two weeks ago in France (second, Listed race at Chantilly)."
