< Indigo Lady sprung a 66-1 shock as she took the feature TRM Silver Stakes at the Curragh under an enterprising ride from Seamie Heffernan.

Willie McCreery's filly, well beaten in her two runs since joining the yard this season, was sent straight to the front and was clear of the Listed field as they entered the straight, where she was allowed to drift across to the stands rail.

Another outsider, Castle Guest led the chasing pack up the centre of the track and looked to hit the front at one stage, but Indigo Lady battled on and she was a neck ahead at the line.

Ger Lyons is firing in winners and had a double, begun when newcomer Bertie Le Belge (16-1) swept through from the rear to collar favourite Cape Clear Island close home and take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden by a length and a quarter under Colin Keane.

Then 11-10 favourite System Overload eased into the lead three furlongs out under Gary Carroll and saw off Tarziyna to win the Nathan Carter At The Derby Festival Maiden by a comfortable three and a half lengths.

Johnny Murtagh's gutsy Urban Moon (5-1) led all the way in the TRM Invest In Calphormin Handicap and fought off the persistent attentions of the favourite Kabjoy through the final furlong to win by a head under Niall McCullagh.

Pat Smullen got plenty of cover for the Dermot Weld-trained Bush Pilot in the Discover Ireland Dublin Horse Show Maiden and having extricated him in the final furlong, the 12-1 shot was nudged clear to win by a length and three-quarters.

Joseph O'Brien refused to be denied on his father Aidan's Gypsy King in the TRM Excellence In Equine Nutrition Maiden and rallied the 9-10 favourite to take a share of the spoils in a dead-heat with Sabrina Harty's 25-1 shot Dalasiri under Robbie Downey.< Big Bad Lily (10-1) put in a sustained late run to take the TRI Equestrian Superstore & Cafe Handicap, while Dragon Fei (12-1) led two furlongs out and ran on strongly to win the TRM Celebrating 25 Years In Equine Nutrition EBF Fillies Handicap.
