Review gowran park 11th Aug

Trainer Mark Fagan enjoyed the biggest success of his career as 20-1 outsider Duchess Of Foxland sprung a surprise in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran.

John Oxx's Shareen was sent off favourite for the Listed event but she was left toiling back in fifth as Duchess Of Foxland kept on gamely to hold Fourpenny Lane by half a length under Emmet McNamara.

The five-year-old was initially disqualified and placed second nearly two weeks ago, but that decision was reversed on Tuesday and the 3-1 shot struck again here.

"I'm delighted for Separate Ways' owners (Long Tipp Syndicate) as today at least they can enjoy their winner on the day," said Marnane.

"The Galway stewards had a difficult decision to make on the day but the appeal stewards made the right decision, I think.

"Separate Ways has improved a good bit and we'll aim him at the Cambridgeshire next."

Galway also did not work out well for Aladdins Cave (9-4 favourite) but he bounced back to form in the Mcenery Cup Handicap.

"We'll aim him at a premier handicap at the Curragh next before he goes back hurdling & ndash; soft ground isn't an issue with him either," said winning trainer Colm Murphy.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained Treasure Beach (4-11 favourite) survived a dramatic late swerve and a subsequent stewards' inquiry to provide Johnny Murtagh with his 59th winner of the year in the op
