Review dundalk 29th Aug
Kevin Ryan took the main prize at Dundalk back to England as the Yorkshire-based handler landed the Danehill Dancer Tipperary Stakes with Our Jonathan
There were few worries for favourite-backers as the 11-8 chance settled in midfield after a tardy start and moved up on to the shoulder of leader Rock Jock two furlongs out.
When Fran Berry pressed the button it was soon over and Our Jonathan ran on well to win the Listed five-furlong contest by a length.
Crack apprentice Gary Carroll put another one on the scoreboard when Motto Bello (7-1) won the Racing Post Yearling Bonus Fillies Auction Race.
Andrew Oliver's juvenile was shuffled back early on and had plenty to do turning in, but she made steady progress and hit the front 100 yards out to beat favourite Justaroundmidnight by a length and a half.< Queen Of Troy found the drop down to the minimum trip to her liking as she took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden with some authority.
Seamie Heffernan settled the 7-4 favourite in third for most of the way and she hit the front after getting a nice split between the leaders a furlong and a half out.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly, caught on the line on her previous run over seven furlongs, kept on nicely and was never in danger as she won by a length and three-quarters.< Good To Follow stepped up on her debut second at Naas to take the Drogheda Maiden.
Gary Carroll tried to make all on Sampers and nearly succeeded, but Billy Lee wore the leader down through the final furlong on Edward Lynam's 9-1 shot and got up close home to win by half a length.< Luisant (11-2) followed up his course and distance victory of a fortnight ago in the Knockbridge Handicap, defying a 9lb hike in the ratings in the process.
Colm O'Donoghue brought James Nash's six-year-old down the outside to lead a furlong out before holding top-weight Miss Gorica by a length and a half.
Liam McAteer's Grigorovitch (14-1) pounced late under Keagan Latham to snatch the Duleek Handicap by a neck.
