Saturn Seven grabbed her third career success, and first for Eddie Lynam, in the big-field sprint-handicap that rounded out the Curragh's card.

From mid-division, she made headway for Colin Keane at the two pole and improved into second a furlong down. She soon led and stayed on best to strike by a length and a-quarter at 12/1.

Runner-up Kwa Herini was backed down to 15/2 and was a head in front of Tawaazon (6/1). Gordon Bennett the well punted 4/1 favourite, flashed home for fourth.

Lynam said: "I can’t take any credit for her as Sarah (Lynam, daughter) does all the work with her.

“When she held a licence, she had her and she was second here. All I do is what I’m told, maybe I’m in charge of who mucks her out. She rides her and trains her.

“I’m delighted for her, but I’m going to take her commission anyway!”

Saturn Seven also won two races when trained by Ken Condon.
