Lake Louise proved strongest in the finish to land the spoils in the nursery at the Curragh. Sakhib cut out the running in the six-furlong contest but had to give way over a furlong out as Versilia Gal came to lead on the outer.

She was soon strongly pressed by Lake Louise, however, who had been ridden to take closer order over a furlong out.

Wayne Lordan drove his mount into the lead in the last 100 yards and she kept on well to record a length-and-a-quarter success.

The 5/1 winner had produced two solid efforts in nurseries last month and was giving trainer Danny O'Sullivan his first winner since Benefit Night landed the Lenister National at Naas in March 2011.

"She's very tough and consistent. She's been running well over seven and the drop back to a tough six seemed to suit," said Lordan afterwards.

"She's a tough filly a deserved her day."

The winner had run in the first two-year-old contest here back in March, when last behind Dawn Approach, and was scoring on the final day of the season at HQ.
