Colin Keane followed up his win in the second on My Good Brother with another all the way success on the Ger Lyons-trained Fog Of War in the Follow @TipperaryRaces Median Auction Maiden.

The betting suggested that this extended mile and a half event would boil down to a match between Fog Of War (7/2 into 11/4) and Karezak (4/6) and so it proved as the former stayed going well through the final two furlong to fend off the 'hot-pot' by a length and a quarter.

"The ground and the step up in trip improved him.

"This is the colt that had me most excited going into winter last year and coming down here I had the King George V Handicap over a mile and a half in mind for Royal Ascot.

"He still could go there but he also has the option of the Queen's Vase over two miles as I think he'll get the trip.

"The dream rolls on to Royal Ascot anyway," said Lyons in the aftermath. (AM & EM)
