AN evening that witnessed some contrasting fortunes for punters yielded victory for several short-priced favourites and Mystery Stowaway did exactly what an 8/15 shot should in the mares’ maiden hurdle where she gave John Ryan his second triumph of the campaign.

This 109-rated Listowel bumper winner, who carries the colours of Declan Donohoe, had filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings over timber so certainly wasn’t winning out of turn, and she made this as easy as she could under Danny Mullins. Mystery Stowaway approached the straight with a good lead and moved farther and farther clear on the bridle to finish some 33 lengths in front of the runner-up, Hill Of Truth.
