Jordan Breeze (3/1 favourite) was another prominent racer to thrive over five furlongs at Cork this evening as he landed the 0-60 handicap under Robyn Donaghue-Leahy.

A winner at Dundalk last year and runner-up on his first two starts this term, the Starspangledbanner gelding was never far from the pace and gained a narrow advantage a furlong out, keeping on well from that point to score by three-parts of a length from Whatswrongnow

Winning trainer Pat Flynn said of his wife Catherine's four-year-old "He is a hell of a lovely horse and it was me who messed up the last day (second at Bellewstown), as I told Robyn to hold him up. Watching that race, I knew I had made a mess.

"Today, there was a mess-up at the start as the horses slammed against the doors, so he got left a bit. Robyn said she slammed against the gates and then fell back, but eventually got out.

"He goes on every ground, we bred him ourselves and his dam won here. His brother (Beauty Waves) is a serious horse in Hong Kong and has won a Group 3 over there.

"This horse will go for something similar now, and he could go six furlongs too."
