Apprentice jockey Gavin Ryan scored a fourth career win at Fairyhouse today as he steered Truffles to make all the running and score a second course win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Handicap.

The Sheila Lavery trained four year old filly, a daughter of Canford Cliffs, won a maiden at the Co Meath venue in September 2016 and while unsuccessful in the interim, today made all and kept Enjoy Life 's challenge at bay in the closing stages for a length and a quarter win.

Seventeen year old Ryan's previous winner was on Mearu for his employer Jim Bolger, at Naas on October 15.
