The Ger Lyons-trained Prevalence quickened up smartly to land the spoils in the fillies' handicap at Fairyhouse.

Colin Keane settled the Juddmonte-owned filly in mid-division in the seven furlong contest before producing her to challenge at the furlong pole.

The 9/1 shot soon hit the front and kept on well in the closing stages to post a length-and-three-quarter win over Back Down Under .

“That was brilliant. She's a law onto herself, but she keeps producing,” said Lyons.

“She's won three now, and winning three over here is a great result for a filly.

“I think she's en route to the sales and we'll have a cut at the Cooley Stakes (at Dundalk).”

When it was put to him that it would be nice to get some black type with her, he added "It would be brilliant and no more than she deserves.

“When she does things like that, you'd think there is black type in her, but she has her own way of doing things.”
