Review gowran park 11th Aug
Trainer Mark Fagan enjoyed the biggest success of his career as 20-1 outsider Duchess Of Foxland sprung a surprise in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran.

"The Galway stewards had a difficult decision to make on the day but the appeal stewards made the right decision, I think.
"Separate Ways has improved a good bit and we'll aim him at the Cambridgeshire next."

"We'll aim him at a premier handicap at the Curragh next before he goes back hurdling & ndash; soft ground isn't an issue with him either," said winning trainer Colm Murphy.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained Treasure Beach (4-11 favourite) survived a dramatic late swerve and a subsequent stewards' inquiry to provide Johnny Murtagh with his 59th winner of the year in the op
