Review NAAS 14th May

Adored (9-2) made all the running to give Aidan O'Brien a one-two in the Group Three Blue Wind Stakes.

The Ballydoyle first-string set a steady pace under Johnny Murtagh, but was closely pursued by hot favourite Profound Beauty.

The race began in earnest entering the straight and when the market leader faded disappointingly, it was left to stablemate Tiffany Diamond to throw down the biggest threat, although she could only get to within a length and a quarter of the winner at the line.

Fresh from Lush Lashes' Musidora victory, Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning teamed up for a double, kicked off by winning debutante Cuis Ghaire in the Curragh Lawns Nursing Home Fillies Maiden.

The 7-2 chance, a daughter of Galileo, showed a professional attitude to beat Silver Shoon by a neck, with fellow newcomer Heart Shaped faring nicely in third.

The Coolcullen combination followed up when Blas Ceoil ran out an impressive two-length winner of the Pat Dunlea Memorial Race.

Shouldering a penalty as a result of a Navan success, the 7-4 favourite gave weight and a beating to her rivals, with Heart Of Fire getting closest at the line.

The way in which she quickened suggests she could make an impact if stepped up to Group company.

Mary Josephine (10-1) just repelled the late lunge of Age Of Chivalry to pick up the prize in the Barey Bros. Saddlers Handicap.

Harry Rogers' filly finished out of the money for the first time in her life at Dundalk last time but she left that behind when hitting the front a furlong out and sticking to her guns to prevail by a short head.

Dermot Weld unleashed a promising colt when Central Station (4-1) left his rivals for dead when making a winning debut in the K.T.K Landfill Ltd. (C&G) Maiden.
