Review leopardstown 10th Jul

News At Six completed a hat-trick in the Peter Hook & The Light Race, the feature race at Leopardstown.

The rapidly improving son of New Approach built on his breakthrough victory in the Apprentice Derby with an 11-length romp at Fairyhouse, and justified odds of 4-5fav to complete a hat-trick.

However, Jim Bolger's four-year-old didn't have it all his own way as Nonchalant refused to go down without a fight when headed over a furlong out and made the winner work for his half-length success.

That completed a double for Bolger and jockey Kevin Manning following Teocht 's victory in the Leopardstown Handicap.

The 7-1 shot did battle with Golden Shoe before eventually pulling two and three-quarters of a length clear of Korbous , who got up on the line for second.

Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen went one better with a treble, starting with Sarafiyla in the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Maiden.

Following an encouraging debut, the Azamour filly was sent off 4-5 favourite for the opening race of the night and didn't disappoint as she pulled two and a three-quarter lengths clear of King Schultz .

Fellow Weld inmates Hellenistic (9-2), who put six and a half lengths between herself and Hannah's Magic in Leopardstown Summer Membership Handicap, and Starlet (4-7fav), a five-length winner of the rish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fillies Maiden from Ode To Psyche , ran out even easier winners.

Gordon Elliott got on the scoresheet with Bayan in the Leopardstown Club Membership Handicap.

Strandfield Lady made a bold bid from the front but was swamped in the final furlong by Stocktons Wing and Bayan (3-1fav), who flashed home on the outside to score by a length and a quarter lengths.

Rayna (5-2fav) continued the good night for favourite-backers in the Follow Leopardstown On Facebook Apprentice Handicap.

John Oxx's Tramore maiden winner pulled well clear along with Blue Ridge Lane and Madam Mo before forging a length and a half ahead of the latter to complete a double.
