Review tipperary 23rd Aug

The Jim Bolger-trained Lady Wingshot (7-1) confirmed recent Galway placings over Yellow Rosebud in the Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary.

Only a head split them at the Ballybrit Festival earlier in the month and Dermot Weld's filly was sent off the 2-1 favourite in an attempt to reverse the form on 2lb better terms.

But Kevin Manning's mount responded willingly when asked to go and win the race approaching the furlong marker, extending her superiority over Yellow Rosebud to half a length on this occasion.< Sugar Boy made most of the running to see off Designs On Rome in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap.

Taking a slight drop in trip having opened his account at Galway earlier in the month, Chris Hayes was keen to utilise the proven stamina of Patrick Prendergast's charge.

The pair kicked clear two furlongs out and the 11-4 winner held on by two lengths from the rallying runner-up.

Aidan O'Brien's Line Drummer landed odds of 1-3 in the opening Camas Park Stud EBF Maiden.

The trainer's son, Joseph, was allowed a soft lead on the son of Galileo, who pulled some 10 lengths clear of his two rivals soon after the start.

He still held a clear advantage passing the two-pole and although Jan Van Eyck closed up as the winner tired approaching the line, it was a case of too little, too late.

The Costello Tavern Handicap saw Jappeli open her account at the eighth time of asking.

Making amends for a short-head defeat over the same seven-furlong course less than a fortnight ago, Ross Coakley guided Ken Condon's Selkirk filly to a length-and-a-quarter victory over Red Sea Poll

The Mocklershill Stables Race went to Parkers Mill (9-4) for the Tommy Stack team.

The four-year-old burst between Unanimous and Bold Thady Quill before holding the fast-finishing Taameer by a short head.
