Viyanni well in charge under Ben Coen © Photo Healy Racing
Viyanni relished a step up in trip, on handicap debut, in division 1 of the Smiths Of Drogheda Ford Classic Handicap.
Johnny Murtagh 's charge raced predominantly in third and came with his challenge over a furlong out. He grabbed a narrow lead at the furlong pole and strode away by four lengths at 5/1.
Ben Coen, in the Aga Khan silks, said: "He ran okay in his maidens and he did it well first time in a handicap today. He galloped right out to the line.
"The step up in trip definitely helped. I know that was a mile and six, but I wouldn't be afraid to go two miles. He was only getting going."
