Five-year-old Russian View got off the mark at this the 12th time of asking for Eddie Lynam and the penny has appeared to have dropped somewhat now after two more encouraging efforts under his belt already this season.

Chris Hayes settled his mount in behind the leaders and for a couple of strides in the last 150 yards it appeared as if the front running Fandango Bay was going to make nearly all of the running.

Both the eventual winner and the late finishing Collingwood subsequently collared Fandango Bay with Russian View holding on by a head at the line.

Collingwood's only two career wins have come on the sand at Laytown and his three Dundalk efforts including this one have seen him get into the minor money. He was raised a pound for his one length defeat over a mile here last week and ran a blinder on this occasion under the burden of top weight.

Fandango Bay was only a length and a half off Collingwood last week and he put up a bold effort from the front but hadn't the gas left in the tank at the death when both Russian View and Collingwood came to challenge. Off this rating and a better draw connections should be able to find a suitable opportunity.

Brocatello put in a career best effort since coming over from Mark Johnston in 2006 and on the turn into the straight a slight upset looked on the cards but he just wasn't good enough to go on when push came to shove and he may be best watched on the next occasion.

No Cushla has now finished 11th on two occasions here this season and has seemed to lose her way since the four placed efforts she obtained last year. She may do her best racing from midsummer onwards.
