Eylara puts in professional performance
Eylara moves clear of Let It Bea

Eylara improved upon her debut runner-up finish to claim the honours in Leopardstown's juvenile fillies' maiden.
That promising run in Gowran Park last month saw her sent off 4/5 favourite to go one better and she did it in good style.
The daughter of Gleneagles raced prominently and made her move from third passing the two pole.
She was ridden by Oisin Orr to claim the leader Let It Bea racing to the final furlong and swept clear in the final 100 yards to win snugly by two lengths.
Let It Bea had no answers once passed but kept on in second at 28/1. She was two and a half lengths in front of French Fusion (14/1).
"She did it nicely and will be a lovely filly for next year,” said Dermot Weld.
“She had a nice run first time, built on it and did what we expected. It was straightforward.
“I expect her to make into a stakes filly next year. I know she ran over a mile first time but I brought her back to seven there today. We'll start her in a Guineas trial and see where we go from there.
“What you see is what you get with her. She's a lovely genuine filly.”
