Review listowel 11th Sep

< Warm The Voice completed a hat-trick in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap at Listowel.

Well regarded by Brendan Duke and victorious at Galway and the Curragh, the 7-4 favourite tracked pacesetter Spiorad Saoirse until Kevin Manning asked him for maximum effort a furlong and a half from home.

He knuckled down well and although Spiorad Saiorse rallied gamely and Drombeg Dream sprouted wings late, Warm The Voice held on by a half a length from the latter.

Eire Rock confirmed his debut promise with an authoritative victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Fozzy Stack's youngster was third on his Gowran Park introduction and sent off the 5-4 favourite here, he made every post a winning one under Chris Hayes to brush aside King Of Leinster by six lengths.

Hayes was also on the scoresheet courtesy of Count Of Carabass (11-2) in the Feale Handicap.

The Hilary McLoughlin-trained six-year-old landed the prize back in 2014 and after tackling Free To Roam for the lead a furlong out, showed excellent resolution to get the better of the argument by a length and a quarter.
