After two unplaced efforts over seven furlongs earlier in the month, Beau Army (7/1) returned to Dundalk to take the six-furlong nursery under Rory Cleary

Having raced in mid-division, the Invincible Army filly worked her way to the front inside the final furlong and posted a half-length victory over Royal County Glory

Ado McGuinness, who trains the winner for Martin White, Nigel O'Hare and the Kabin Racing Syndicate, commented: "She finished strong the last day and I was a little bit worried about dropping her back in trip, but I was still happy to do it. 

"She still has plenty of boot and she is learning, she is still green. She definitely will keep coming up here to learn more."
