Back up at seven furlongs and racing on the all-weather for the second time, Eagle Song another son of leading first-season sire No Nay Never, took the honours in race three at Dundalk, the Cargotec Ireland Nursery Handicap (Plus 10 Race).
Winning trainer Joseph O'Brien's father and brother, Aidan and Donnacha, landed the opening maiden on the card with the smart looking No Nay Never chestnut Never No More
Here, under Shane Crosse, Eagle Song travelled sweetly before putting his seven furlong assignment to bed by two and a quarter lengths.
For good measure for the O'Briens, second home was National Guard (Aidan and Donnacha).
"He's had a good few runs earlier in the year and you need to maybe just kid him along a small bit," said Crosse.
"He was the best of them at the furlong pole and it was just a matter of getting his head in front.
"It was like a bit of work for him. I dropped him out and got him to relax. He was passing horses without him knowing it and that was the main thing with him."
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Rita Levi trained by G.M.Lyons, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have a nasal discharge post race.
