Electric Beauty made virtually all under Wesley Joyce to land the Aer Lingus College Football Classic Apprentice Handicap at Leopardstown.

Vega’s Muse appeared the likely winner when challenging a furlong out, but the Mick Mulvany-trained 14/1 (from 20/1) chance dug deep in the closing stages to hold off that rival by a neck. Zabeir was a further two lengths back in third.

Mulvany said, “It’s another filly that we bought out of Ken(Condon)’s the same as Ina Mina, and she’s a work in progress. She still doesn’t know what it’s all about yet.

“She showed a bit of guts and battled on well when it looked like she was going to be passed. Hopefully it will be onwards and upwards with her now and we might go to Galway with her.

“We should have seven or eight runners in Galway over the week. The last couple of years have been good to us in Galway and hopefully we can keep it going.”
