The layers were on the receiving end for the fourth time in a row at Dundalk when Song Of Love prevailed in the Elusive Pimpernel Maiden.

Annmarie and Aidan O'Brien's son of Fastnet Rock went off a well-backed 11/10 chance, on the back of a couple of second placings here last month.

There were times when his supporters must have wondered whether the three-year-old would again come up short.

However he gave generously for Ana O'Brien and got there to touch off Hat Alnasar by a head.

This was a nice win for the O'Brien family as they also bred Song Of Love under the Whisperview Trading Ltd banner. (EM)
