Sharjah may have just lost out in second place for the stable in the 6.10 at Bath, but the 6.05 at Limerick did go Andy Slattery's way with Branch Line landing the spoils.

This Croom House Stud Rated Race had just four runners and the Killian Leonard-ridden Branch Line finished best to defeat Ma Fee Heela and Music Box by a length and a head.

"We gelded him last November but he fell asunder on us and is only now after strengthening up quite a bit," said Slattery.

"I think he'll be very good next year - I think he'll be a group horse then. I'll give him an entry in the Mile Handicap at Galway next."
