Minaun View made virtually all to land the Molson Coors Beverage Company Handicap over an extended seven-furlongs in Down Royal.

The 8/1 chance was asked for more outside the '2' pole by Patrick McGettigan and stuck to her task well in the final furlong to score by two and a half lengths from Faoladh (15/2) with Thru And Thru back in third at 7/1.

Ado McGuinness said: "Keeping the Down men happy!

"Great ride. I told him to jump out and that he didn't have to make it but if you're there you're there. She's able to float and I knew coming down the hill they were all well under pressure at the back, and she was going easy.

"Great to get a handicap with her.

"She's in a mares' race at Bellewstown in the middle of the week, so we will see what way the decs are tomorrow and we will make a decision whether we go or not. I'll see what the handicapper does."

Minaun View's previous three victories came in claimers at Gowran Park, Killarney and Bellewstown.
