Paul Deegan picked up a big prize when Stand To Attention grabbed the Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale Stakes at Fairyhouse in the hands of Chris Hayes.
The once-raced juvenile, a promising fifth at the Curragh first time out, had plenty to do turning into the straight but came with a strong run down the outside.
British raider Bathwick Bear looked to have stolen a winning advantage, but Stand To Attention (16-1) swept past to score by three lengths, with The Four Masters snatching second close home.
Aidan O'Brien introduced a youngster with plenty of potential in Look At Me who stamped her class on the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden in the hands of Johnny Murtagh.
The 7-2 chance, a daughter of twice Classic-placed Queen Cleopatra, raced in rear but zipped through a gap in the final furlong to land the prize by a cosy length and three-quarters from Shelley Beach
Jim Bolger's Whip Mark was sent off the 7-4 favourite for the Ratoath Maiden and responded gamely to Kevin Manning's urgings to land his first victory on his third start.
The three-year-old shared the lead with Prayer Boat for most of the way before getting the better of a duel in the straight, and then resisted Phoebe Van Gelder s late charge by half a length.< Bendzoldan (20-1) and Brookley Lady swept past favourite Harrison's Cave early in the straight in the Enable Ireland North East Nursery and the former answered Davy Moran's call to score by a neck, giving trainer Tom Cleary his first winner in 14 months.
Colm Murphy's Aladdins Cave (5-1) had the Dunshaughlin Handicap sewn up under Joseph O'Brien, but he nearly pulled himself up and got home by just a short head from Saajidah whose trainer Kevin Prendergast is still seeking his 2,000th winner.
O'Brien was at his strongest as he completed a double on Pat Flynn's Waydownsouth (5-2 favourite) in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.
