Second Cork victory for LL Koulsty A course winner over a furlong shorter last year, the Rory Mulligan-ridden L L Koulsty (7/2) recorded a second victory at Cork in the apprentice handicap over seven furlongs. The winner and eventual runner-up Smoke Em Out were at the head of affairs throughout with L L Koulsty, the sole three-year-old in the line-up, gained the initiative from just after halfway to score by a length and a-half in the colours of Dr Marcella Burns. Winning trainer John O'Donoghue said "He had a grand run here the last day and we were happy when 'heavy' came into today's going description (after the fourth race). He stays a mile but I think he is better over seven (furlongs) and he relaxed fine with the cheekpieces off. "We initially had thought of him as a Madrid Handicap-type horse, but in February we brought him to Newcastle for the all-weather over a mile, which didn't work, but thankfully he is running a lot better back on turf. "We will come back here during Royal Ascot as there is a nice handicap for him, when he'll be in off a light weight in a better race." Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
