Princess Aloof turned out again quickly to land back-to-back successes at Leopardstown in the Ross Nugent Foundation Handicap.

Jessica Harrington 's charge claimed the final race at Sunday's meeting the 7/2 favourite was back again to follow up in the mile handicap this afternoon.

Shane Foley produced the mare to challenged a furlong-and-a-half from home and she got the better of Beau Satchel in the closing stages to post a length-and-three-quarters victory.

"She's tough. She did it easy there. They went flat to the boards and she loved it," said Harrington.

"I don't know how much she has improved but she's obviously gotten stronger over the winter. She's a great fun filly and was bred by Johnny."
