Miss Corby (9/2) rallied to winning effect in the D & J Glazing Handicap Hurdle over an extended two-miles-five-furlongs in Limerick.

She looked cooked when 9/4 favourite Collaborative swept through to lead on the approach to the last, but it was all change on the run-in.

Collaborative was still in charge but Miss Corby determinedly found her second wind and raced past the favourite in the closing stages for Harry Swan. From looking home, Collaborative dropped to third as Way Down South (5/1) came home well for second, beaten two and a-quarter lengths by the winner.

Mouse Morris said: "After all my seconds lately, it is nice to get one past the post.

"We might step her up now to three miles and she'll go on good ground as she has won on it in the past.

"That's Harry's second winner for me and he rides with his head, very much like his father (Charlie)."

Miss Corby doubled her career total having won a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in April last year.
