Lee doubles up and moves ahead of Keane

Billy Lee completed a quick double, and moved to the head of the jockeys' table, when 6/5 favourite Warren Beach made all in the three-runner rated race.

Ken Condon 's Aclaim colt, a maiden winner at Gowran last month, was shaken up soon after turning into the straight and soon asserted to beat Perfect Thunder by a length and a half.

Lee, who had won the second race on Amirat Alward is now on 32 winners for the campaign, one ahead of Colin Keane, with Ryan Moore next on 25.

“I’m delighted with that and it was a nice opportunity with just the three runners," said Lee.

“He broke a bit smarter today and was a bit more tuned in with the blinkers on again today. They helped the last day and they have really focussed him.

“I went a nice gallop as I didn’t want it turning into a sprint. Seven is the minimum he wants and he loves the ground.

“When I picked him up off the bend he kept galloping away well.

“He’s going the right way and could step back into black type company.”
