The Peter Jones colours have been carried by smart performers such as Tiger Royal and Flowers Of Spring in the past, and Shane Foley gave them a successful airing when victorious aboard the Ken Condon-handled The Compeller in the Follow @Thetotecom On Twitter Handicap.

An encouraging fourth on handicap debut at Killarney last week, cheek-pieces were swapped for blinkers on The Compeller, and the distance was also upped to a mile and five for the Lawman three-year-old.

Foley put it up to his four rivals from the get-go and his mount was game when The Last Marju pressed hard in the closing stages, keeping that opponent at bay by half a length.

There was a gap of fifteen lengths back to favourite Papagayo in third.

"He's a dosser and the blinkers helped him. He had a couple of good runs and we thought he could even win a maiden. He kept going well there," remarked Foley.
