Preview gowran park 18th Sep

Duchess Andorra caused something of an upset when landing the Denny Cordell Lavarack And Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Gowran.

Johnny Murtagh's filly was without a win since landing a handicap at this track in April last year, and was a 16-1 chance after being well beaten in a pair of Curragh Group races recently.

She battled bravely to land this Group Three prize, though, answering every call from Colin Keane to get the better of a real tussle with Laganore to the line by a short head.

Murtagh bagged a double when Pacodali (5-1) won the Live Music After Racing Maiden under Billy Lee.

Keane made it a double when guiding Liz Doyle's Annie Irish (10-1) to victory in the second division of the mile handicap.

Queen Anne's Lace ran out a hugely impressive winner on her debut when taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Dermot Weld's 10-1 chance cruised into the lead just after the turn for home and stretched well clear in the final furlong under Pat Smullen, finishing four and a half lengths ahead of Bound .

Weld and Smullen made it a double when Massayan got the better of a tremendous battle with Moonmeister in the gowranpark.ie Rated Race.

The 3-1 chance had won over further, so it was possibly no surprise that he kept finding plenty to hold off Moonmeister in the final furlong, winning by a head.

Rekindling pulled out all the stops to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

David Wachman's 7-1 chance looked a sitting duck in the lead on the home turn, but he kept finding more for Wayne Lordan to beat World War by two and a half lengths.

John Hayden's William Ashford (14-1) landed the first division of the Tote Pick 6 Is Heading For One Million Euro Handicap under Tom Madden.

John McConnell's Kandahari justified 3-1 favouritism when landing the Gowran Park Gold Membership From 499 Apprentice Handicap under Killian Leonard.
