< Onenightidreamed (9-1) denied Flight Risk back-to-back wins in the Big Bad Bob Gladness Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.
Jim Bolger's charge won the Group Three event 12 months ago and was still in front entering the final furlong as he ran another big race.
However, the Tommy Stack-trained winner is a real mud-lover and stayed on well to deny Flight Risk by half a length, with Irish Lincolnshire hero Sruthan back in fourth.
Breeders' Cup Turf winner Found finished a disappointing third as Zhukova ran out an impressive winner of the coral.ie Alleged Stakes.< Success Days put the pace to the race but had no answer to the 6-1 winner as she burst past to score by four and three-quarter lengths.< Mr Right (12-1) took the Coral.ie Bet & Watch Irish And UK Racing Live Handicap, but it may have been a different story had Master Speaker got a clear run.
The latter got all sorts of trouble on the rails under Ryan Moore and took off when switched wide late on, but the winner had stolen a march on his rivals and held on by half a length.
Moore did get on the scoresheet when partnering US Army Ranger (15-8) to victory in the closing Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden, as the Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomer got up late to deny Aasheq by three-quarters of a length.< The Mcgregornator upset the well-backed Callender in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
The 4-7 favourite looked to have the race in the bag with a clear lead entering the final furlong, but Adrian Keatley's colt stayed on strongly in the testing ground to get up by half a length at 16-1.< Ceol An Ghra (3-1) showed a good attitude to see off the challenges of Sufoof and Waitaki and land the Coral.ie Bet 5 Get 20 In Free Bets European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden by half a length from the latter, while Buenos Y Bobos (11-1) ground out a three-quarters of a length victory over Gallope in the Coral.ie Best Price Guaranteed On All Irish Races Handicap.
