Sir Michael Stoute made a successful raid on Gowran Park, as Mango Diva gave the Newmarket trainer his second win in five runnings of the Danny Cordell Laverack & Landwades Stud Fillies Stakes.

Settled off the pace in the Group Three event by Johnny Murtagh, she still had ground to make up on Uleavemebreathless approaching the furlong marker.

Murtagh had timed it right on the 7-4 favourite, though, and she finished well to land the spoils by a length.

Jim Bolger landed the Powerstown Stud EBF Maiden last year with Trading Leather and got the verdict again this term with newcomer Mandatario

The 13-2 chance was always to the fore under Kevin Manning, but Kerkeni came from out of the pack to challenge in the closing stages and only a short-head separated the pair at the line.

Bolger and Manning made it a double on the day when Wexford Opera finally got off the mark in the 2014 Gowran Park Centenary Year Maiden.

The 11-2 chance had been placed in seven of his previous 13 unsuccessful outings but made no mistake here, recording a length and a quarter success over High Net Worth

Two of the brightest young jockeys in Ireland fought out the finish of the Dining Packages On gowranpark.ie Nursery Handicap, with Colin Keane emerging victorious on Oddiseia (6-1), half a length ahead of Connor King on Ava Star
