< Banimpire collected her second Group Three prize of the season in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Blue Wind Stakes at Naas.

Jim Bolger's filly numbered Recital among her Ballysax victims before winning at Listed level at Gowran Park, but was only sent off at 5/2 behind John Oxx's once-raced maiden winner Mesariya

But, while the favourite found little when asked for an effort, Banimpire really stuck her neck out and powered clear to cross the line three-quarters of a length ahead of Spin and Mid Mon Lady

Bolger indicated that the Irish 1000 Guineas and the Irish Oaks are now on the agenda.

Aidan O'Brien unleashed a couple of exciting prospects in the shape of Choir and Maybe

The first-named, a Danehill Dancer colt, justified strong market support to give the Ballydoyle handler his third successive victory in the Fishery Lane Race as the 13/8 favourite in the hands of Seamie Heffernan.

In contrast, Maybe defied a market drift to make an impressive debut under Colm O'Donoghue in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Allowed to go off at 8/1, the daughter of Galileo was always prominent and after O'Donoghue sent her about her business at halfway, the result was never in doubt and she careered four and a half lengths away from Princess Sine d < Rose Bonheur (3/1 favourite) comprehensively supplemented last month's Tipperary win in the Naas Racecourse Handicap.

Kevin Prendergast's consistent filly got the better of Khelino at the furlong marker and ran all the way to the line for a two-length verdict, with the promise of much more to come.

There was a thrilling three-way tussle for the Kill (C & G) Maiden, with Paul Deegan's Red Shaheen (11/4) just getting the verdict over El Gran Torino and favourite It's Freezing while the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap went the way of Via Mia and Katherine O'Brien.
