The two-year-old colts and geldings’ maiden was won in decisive fashion by Mister Mister (5/2).

Dylan Browne McMonagle tracked the leaders on Sea The Moon colt who swept to the front at the furlong pole. Despite edging right, he settled the race in a few strides and kept on strongly to beta Covent Garden by three and three quarter lengths.

The winner had finished a close third at this venue over a furlong less on his previous outing.

Winning trainer Joesph O'Brien remarked: “He was very impressive and we've always liked him. I thought he was a little bit unlucky here the last day, another couple of strides and he would have got up.

“It's nice to see him go and win like that because it wasn't a bad race and there was plenty of talk before it.

“He has plenty of options now, there is the Killavullan and the Eyrefield. He has a few fancy entries as we've always held him in high regard.

“I was a little worried as his runs have been on better ground but he obviously handled it well, and being by Sea The Moon would suggest he would handle it.”
