Having won the previous race on the card, Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley recorded quick doubles when Lady In Paris swooped late to land the BoyleSports 'Home Of The Early Payout' Handicap at Leopardstown.

Having her first start in handicap company, the daughter of Blue Point belied that inexperience to see off some more battle-hardened opponents here.

Tracking the pace in the first half dozen throughout, Foley was pushing along in fourth entering the straight as Jack Kearney kicked from the front on Wizard Of Odds

Both Ja'marr and Its All Peachy both got to the latter at the furlong pole but all three were quickly headed by Lady In Paris, who went on to score by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

Jessica Harrington said: “We’ve been trying to get her to do things right and not be rushing. She relaxed today and Shane said it really helped the fact they went a right good gallop.

“She’ll probably get a mile and a quarter and that’s ideal ground for her. I love her attitude and the more he asked her the more she enjoyed it.”
