Force Noir makes no mistake on second start After Keke in the previous contest, Force Noir (4/9 favourite) was another to make all up the stands' side at Naas in the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden over five furlongs. Narrowly beaten on debut at the Curragh, Amo Racing Limited's juvenile was shaken up by David Egan over a furlong out and soon stretched clear to beat Lady Patrona by four and a-quarter lengths. Winning trainer Robson De Aguiar said “He ran well the first day, when he showed a little bit of greenness. “He has improved since the first day and I’d say he’s going to improve again. “The sire (Persian Force) has had a lot of runners and they’ve all run well, they put their heads down and run. Now they are starting to win and I’m very happy for the stallion. “He’s a horse that can run over five and can step up to six as well. I liked his attitude today. “We’ll see how he is after today and maybe he could come back next week for the First Flier Stakes at the Curragh. “We could maybe save him for the Norfolk in Ascot. The Marble Hill is another option if he doesn’t go to the First Flier.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
