Even money favourite Hazdann came from last to first in the straight for a cosy success over four younger rivals in the Lecarrow Race at Roscommon this evening.

The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old was having just his third start since winning his maiden as a two-year-old at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend in 2024.

On his second outing this year, he led early inside the final furlong under Chris Hayes to beat Andy Slattery's 6/1 chance God Of Love by half a length.

“It's lovely to have him back in the winners' enclosure again, he's a grand horse and we're all very fond of him,” said Kris Weld.

“It was a bit of a messy race but he's done it well in the end.

“We'll go back into stakes company with him next. A little more ease in the ground will be beneficial to him as well.”
