Precious Gem will go in search of stakes success after claiming the Property Properly Handicap in good style at Leopardstown.

Pat Smullen sent his mount for home over a furlong out and she stayed on strongly to record a length-and-three-quarters success over Maximo

"She did it well. She has been stakes placed and we'll see now if we can win a stakes race with her during the year," said winning trainer Dermot Weld.

"She's a nice filly and is very well-bred as she's by Sadler's Wells out of a full-sister to Rock Of Gibraltar. She's the first one out of the mare.

"I thought she'd win today. She ran a very good race in stakes company at the Curragh last time.

"She's very adaptable as she's won on soft at Galway and she is just getting better."
