Narrowly denied with Dynamite Dixie in the 4.55, Jim Bolger & Kevin Manning weren't long about putting things right and after Light Heavy s win in the next, Vastitas doubled their score by making all in the Intervarsity Challenge Handicap at Leopardstown.

A daughter of Green Desert, Vastitas went off at 16/1 for this seven furlong event, on the back of some uninspiring efforts lately, but such is the form of the Coolcullen string at present that she found her best (a good winner on slower ground at Roscommon last June) now. The blinkered four-year-old was ridden and kept on well from two furlongs out on the way to a length and a half win over Olfa with the never nearer Solent Ridge half a length back in third.

Bolger said: "Little fish are sweet. She's nice and sweet at the moment and there might be another day in her.

"She didn't like the sand at Dundalk last time. She handles nearly anything except really firm." (GC & EM)
