“She ran badly here the other day,” McAteer said.

“Gavin Ryan rode her and he told me she didn't stay and to just keep the bit fresh in her mouth.

“Ciaran just said to keep it simple, if you want to break and make it if there is no pace just do that.”

The Donegal jockey followed up with success on the 16/1 Capla Knight for Patrick McKenna in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap.

McAteer won by half-a-length from Miracles In May (15/2).
