Nikki Swango followed up at Dundalk this afternoon with another convincing success in the 0-60 handicap over seven furlongs.

The Ado McGuinness-trained filly had won in good style here a week ago and was a well supported 11/8 favourite to do the business again.

Adam Caffrey produced his mount to lead over a furlong from home and she was soon in control, posting a three-and-three-quarter length success over Wellwhatshappenin

McGuinness said: "That's the key to those type of horses, they stay in the same grade and they have a chance.

"I had her for a couple of runs and then she was claimed. We got her back and she has definitely turned inside out since she came back.

"She was probably a little unlucky not to win the first night (when runner-up here).

"That's the third run now in the space of less than two weeks, so we might bring her back here this side of Christmas for a pot.

"I'll see what Garry (O'Gorman, handicapper) does to her. I certainly don't think he will leave me in there (60 grade)! I think she will have no problem in a 0-70 or even moving up in grade.

"She has definitely improved, that's for sure."
