Lee excels on Petit Billy Lee gave Petit Chou a very well-judged front-running ride to land the ATR Festival Phone-In Handicap by a length for owner/trainer Eddie Lynam. Lee started nudging the Captain Rio handicap first-timer to increase her effort inside the final quarter mile and he found a willing partner as she fended off Elusive Art. Paul Deegan's My Mood (6s morning into 3/1 fav) was fancied to give connections a double after the success of Bashir Biyoum Zain half-an-hour earlier but she could only manage a well-beaten eighth. Lynam remarked afterwards of his three-year-old, who didn't go unbacked: "That gets me off the cold list. They've been running well, loads of seconds and thirds, it's just hard to win races. I bought this one as a foal and it is nice that she has got the bracket. Bill gave her a good ride."
