Glamorous Approach produced a game front-running performance to land the TRI Equestrian Silver Stakes at the Curragh.

It was a double on the day for trainer Jim Bolger after the filly dug deep in the closing stages to claim the ten-furlong Listed contest.

Kevin Manning sent the 4/1 shot to the front after a couple of furlongs and she stuck on well inside the final furlong to hold 9/4 favourite Laganore at bay.

The winner had claimed the Listed Zetland Stakes at Newmarket as a two-year-old and won a handicap over a mile-and-a-half on her last visit to the Curragh on Guineas weekend.

She supplemented the earlier victory of Strike For Freedom in the opening two-year-old maiden.
