Full Disclosure rounded off an evening to remember for Billy Lee and Andy Oliver at Naas, as he took the concluding Racing Again June 27th Handicap.

Lee was earlier on the mark with Lethal Promise and Spinning Memories with the impressive latter also trained by Oliver.

Full Disclosure was sent off an outsider at 28/1, having failed to make an impact on his previous five starts.

Settled behind the leaders on the outer, he was ridden and came with his challenge over a furlong from home, hitting the front inside the final 150 yards, before going on to hold off the effort of Coach Bombay (20/1) a neck. Queen Rabab (10/3) and Mzuri (20/1) were a length and a neck back in third and fourth respectively, while the well-backed 11/4 favourite (from 7/2) Vitalized was a very disappointing fifteenth.

Oliver, whose double came in a 608/1, said afterwards: "That's great. He owned by Frankie Campbell who is a very lucky owner and a very good supporter. Unfortunately he's in Spain at the moment.

"He's been a very frustrating horse. He's had plenty of bits and bobs wrong with him. We ran him with a tongue-tie and he just wouldn't go at all.

"We were about to give up with him and I used him as a lead horse, took the tongue-tie and all the apparatus off his head, and the other horse couldn't get to him. So I thought right one more go.

"This was the last chance saloon. He did it well and Billy gave him a great ride.

"We'll have to keep going now and he might turn up at Down Royal on Saturday if he gets in.

"I'm delighted for the owner. At least we've got a wee bit of payback."
