Trustyourinstinct brought up a double for Joseph O'Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle when landing the Packages At www.gowranpark.ie Race for a third time.

Successful in both the 2023 and 2024 renewals, the JP McManus owned gelding missed the race 12 months ago.

Sent off 1/12f to make it three wins in the contest, the six-year-old led early in the straight and, was always doing enough to hold 33/1 outsider Leopold The First by a-length-and-a-half.

Joseph O'Brien said: "He hasn't won for a little while, so it was nice to just come back and,get some confidence.

"Dylan just said that when he got to the front, he was having a real good look around. It's nice to win with him and he'll go back into stakes company now. He could potentially run on Derby weekend, or he could go on to Roscommon for the Lenabane. There's the Martin Molony at Limerick as well, so he'll have a few options."
