Andyourbirdcansing completed a treble for John Ryan at Sligo with a comprehensive victory in the first division of the Kilcawley Construction Handicap Hurdle.

Jockey Michael Kenneally was handy on the eight-year-old mare and she jumped well throughout before staying on well to beat Las Brisas Boy by three and a-half lengths for the We Win Racing Syndicate.

"She's a nice mare, but hasn't always been the easiest to train," said winning trainer John Ryan whose earlier winners were also mares, namely Unknown Fortune and Crystabel.

"She won her maiden here. I've had a four-timer here before, and a couple of trebles, so it's a track I love coming to.

"She's owned by a lovely bunch of people from Galway.

"Michael gave her a good ride, and she gave everything for him."
