< Making Light got her revenge on Elegant Pose to claim Group Three glory in the Lodge Park Stud Irish EBF Park Express Stakes at Naas.

Elegant Pose touched off Dermot Weld's filly by a head in a Listed heat over course and distance back in the autumn, and was sent off the 4-6 favourite to confirm the form.

All appeared to be going to plan when Elegant Pose challenged Panstarr for the lead a furlong and a half out but that rival wouldn't lie down, although Leigh Roche swooped down the outside to beat both of them.

Making Light (9-4) had half a length to spare over Panstarr, with Elegant Pose having to settle for third.< On The Go Again justified strong market support in the Tote Irish Lincolnshire.

The Michael Mulvany-trained 6-1 favourite hit the front over a furlong out and then kept Saltonstall a length and three-quarters at bay.

Few got into the Woodlands 100 Club Madrid Handicap but Dianthus (12-1) showed a pleasing attitude to see off well-regarded top-weight London Icon

The pair were always prominent, kicking clear early in the straight, but the Richard O'Brien-trained Dianthus was in receipt of 16lb and it told as she pulled a length and three-quarters away.

Her jockey Chris Hayes was also successful on Alan Fleming's Katie Cruel (7-1) in the Kildare Post & Kildare Now Maiden.< Medicine Jack got his career back on track with a narrow victory in the Naas Racecourse Launches The 2018 Flat Season Handicap.

A smart two-year-old in 2016 but absent since his sole outing last term in May and gelded during his time off, Ger Lyons' 5-1 chance pipped Smash Williams by a head, with Gymkhana close up in third.

Lyons and Colin Keane also took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden with Bobby Boy (4-1), while the race of the same name for juveniles went to Brendan Duke's 20-1 shot Pride Of Pimlico
