Review LEOPARDSTOWN 4th Jun

Age Of Chivalry (8-1) came from out of the clouds to get up close home in the Group Three Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown.

John Oxx's charge was held up towards the rear in the early stages of the six-furlong contest, and she still had plenty to do as the field turned for home.

Eastern Romance seemed to have the race sewn up when making what appeared to be a decisive move close home, but Fran Berry, who completed a treble later on the card, rousted Age Of Chivalry into contention, and got up in the shadow of the post to score by a head.

Jim Gorman's Three Way Stretch (3-1) showed the benefit of a recent run when stretching away from his rivals to finish a commanding winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Comadoir made a brave bid from the front, but as he faded over a furlong out, Three Way Stretch shot past to beat the running-on Lac A Dancer by three-and-a-half lengths under Berry.

Berry's third winner came courtesy of another well-timed late run when Charles O'Brien's Adare Manor proved too strong in the Somerville Handicap.

Kevin Prendergast produced an excellent training performance as Mustameet returned from over a year off the track to win the Listed Glencairn Stakes.

Odds-on favourite Ferneley attempted to make all, but Kevin Prendergast's charge was always in touch and picked off the market leader inside the final furlong.

Chris Geoghegan had to be strong on the 3-1 chance close home as Akua'ba challenged, but the Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned seven-year-old prevailed by half a length.

Lunduv justified odds-on favouritism when running out an easy winner of the Kingston Maiden.

Never out of the first two under Pat Smullen, the 4-6 chance cruised clear on the turn for home and was pushed out to beat Veidhleadoir by three lengths.
