< Kenya and James Cook showed their Classic potential for Aidan O'Brien in contributing to a good afternoon for the Ballydoyle handler at Leopardstown.

Kenya's victory in the Group Three Killavullan Stakes was particularly impressive as he showed excellent resolution to supplement his Cork maiden triumph which came just last weekend.

The 7-4 favourite was always prominent in the hands of Donnacha O'Brien and found plenty when Mcmunigal tried to make a race of it to claim the spoils by a length.

James Cook (4-7 favourite), like Kenya a son of Galileo, made it second-time lucky in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden.

The full-brother to the stable's Arc heroine Found made his way into plenty of notebooks when second on his introduction and went one better in beating Latrobe by half a length.

O'Brien completed a treble, while James Cook's jockey Seamie Heffernan registered a brace, when Bound broke her duck in the Listed Trigo Stakes.

Yet another offspring of Galileo, the 5-1 chance took the lead off Grandee two furlongs out and stuck to her guns well to repel Cannonball by a length and three-quarters.< Contingent could also be one to follow next year judging by her successful introduction in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

A good change of gear carried Dermot Weld's daughter of Frankel to the front a furlong and a half out, and she kept going strongly to account for Alghabrah by a length and three-quarters as the 9-4 favourite.< Lucky Mistake and Perfect Soldier had the Yulong Trophy Handicap between them in the final furlong but it was the former who pulled out most to score by a length and three-quarters at odds of 11-2.< Baroness (7-2) got off the mark with a comprehensive victory under Donnacha O'Brien in the Irish Injured Jockeys Nursery Handicap, while Grand Partner won the Club Godolphin Student Initiative Handicap.
