Burns shines again on Prince Of Eyeries Touched off over course and distance on his previous start, Prince Of Eyeries (5/6 fav) went one better in the apprentice maiden for four-year-olds and upwards at Dundalk. Nicola Burns' mount led after a couple of furlongs and fended off the challenge of Late Night Talking by half a length. The 70-rated Starspangledbanner gelding is trained for the Roving Swan Partnership by James Barrett who was on lead-up duties. Burns said: "The plan was to jump out and if something else goes to make it, just sit in. "I kind of got left in front a bit, but I was happy at the same time. "Coming up the straight he was getting a bit lazy but, when I gave him one or two, he kept on going for me. "The last run definitely brought him on and he kept fighting today."
