Convergence (Colin Keane) beats War Envoy (Ryan Moore) and Wychwood Warrior (Shane Foley, inner)© Photo Healy Racing
Ryan Moore's flying visit to Dundalk didn't pay off as War Envoy could only manage second in the Patton Stakes.
Moore was in the winner's enclosure for Aidan O'Brien at the Curragh on Sunday and the Ballydoyle handler called on him again to partner the 11-8 favourite in this Listed heat.
Having settled nearer last than first, Moore produced War Envoy to win his race before the furlong marker but he couldn't get past the resolute Convergence (8-1), who stuck his neck out to prevail by a length.
