Declan Leigh saddled his first Flat winner when Le Diablo Rouge took the apprentice handicap in the capable hands of Julie Burke.
Burke, partnering her fourth winner, had the five-year-old up with the pace throughout and the combination kept on well under pressure to beat the staying on Gothen Niece by a length and a half.
The placings of the third (Catherine) and fourth (Fire Drill) were reversed following a stewards enquiry after the latter met with interference about a furlong out. Sean Levey, rider of Catherine picked up a two day suspension for careless riding.
'We were waiting for an ease in the ground and were going to go hurdling but we may wait a little longer and give him another run on the Flat,' said Leigh.
