Unless reeled in Sweetest Rose to bring up a treble at Naas for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.
Sweetest Rose had the field on the stretch turning for home in the fillies' maiden and still appeared to be travelling smoothly for Colin Keane.
The only horses able to keep tabs with the leader by the furlong pole were Unless and Lan Cinnte
Unless was soon wound up by Moore and the pair came to claim Sweetest Rose with 100 yards to travel.
Sweetest Rose (5/1) could offer no more and dropped to third as Unless (9/4) beat Lan Cinnte (4/1) by two and a-quarter lengths.
“She's a nice filly, she'll probably go up in trip. She's a long time waiting to win, I'd say the Justifys need a little bit of time and you don't want to rush them. They are all starting to come now,” said O'Brien.
“They are big horses and she is a big filly as well. The Sandringham could be an option and she will get further next year. She's definitely progressing, we'll try not to back her up too quick.”
