< Cappella Sansevero cemented the new partnership of Andrea Atzeni and owners Qatar Racing with a commanding success in the Nestle Supporting Irish Autism Action Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh.
Ger Lyons' colt showed high-class form to finish a close-up third in the Phoenix Stakes on his last start and he was sent off the 6-4 favourite to take this Group Three contest in his stride.
