In with a price tag of €15,000, Vitalized convincingly justified 5/4 favouritism in the opening Gowran Park Claiming Race.

The Kevin Manning-ridden Coolcullen home-bred took over from two furlongs out, and she was soon gone beyond recall, easily accounting for Love Letter by three and three parts of a length.

Not all that surprisingly, there was plenty of activity in the aftermath, with four claims in for Jim Bolger's winner.

Lots were drawn and Willie Mullins was the successful claimant.

Meanwhile the seventh home, Wider World was claimed for €16,000 by Ciara Carthy.

C.D. Hayes, rider of Master Rule trained by P.D. Deegan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount missed the break.
