Review curragh 3rd May

Mon 3rd May 2010, 17:40

< Fame And Glory bounced back to form with an authoritative display in the High Chaparral European Breeders Fund Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh.

Last year's Irish Derby hero had been beaten at odds-on on his seasonal return in the Alleged Stakes but made no mistake this time as he justified cramps odds of 30-100 by beating Recharge by five lengths under Johnny Murtagh.

A return to the Curragh for the Tattersalls Gold Cup on May 23 is his likely next port of call.

Winning trainer Aidan O'Brien said: "I'm delighted with that, they went a good even gallop.

"He's come on well from his first run back. He'll probably go for the Tattersalls Gold Cup now."

Tommy Stack's Cork maiden winner Lolly For Dolly took the step up to Group Three company in her stride as she quickened right away from her rivals to land the Oratorio European Breeders Fund Athasi Stakes.

Stack's son and assistant Fozzy said: "Wayne (Lordan) said she was a little bit green coming between horses but she quickened up very well.

"I think she is very smart, her work all spring has been solid. We will supplement her for the Irish 1,000 Guineas now."< Free Judgement gave Jim Bolger his third win in the last four runnings of the Dylan Thomas European Breeders Fund Tetrarch Stakes.

Bolger said of his 100-30 shot: "He'd want the ground better than it is today, it's nearly soft out there.

"Hopefully he'll come back and take his chance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas where hopefully we'll have nicer ground."

The Aussie Rules European Breeders Fund Maiden went to the Ger Lyons-trained 4-1 chance Clondinnery while 10lb claimer Darren Egan recorded the second win of his career when guiding Kevin Prendergast's Musical Rain (25-1) to win the 30-runner P.G.Duffy & Sons Mazda Handicap.
