The market leaders dominated the concluding mile and a quarter handicap in Naas as Less Of That saw it out best from Level Of Intensity

Jim Bolger 's Level Of Intensity was first reserve but went off 7/4 favourite after getting a run when stablemate Cashless was declared a non runner.

He led inside the three pole but was pressed and passed by Less Of That (9/4) in the final two furlongs.

David Simmonson kept her up to her work to close out the race by a neck from her rallying opponent. Remember Nerja (25/1) and Marvellous Ways at 20/1 rewarded their each-way backers in third and fourth respectively.

Afterwards, trainer Johnny Feane, who was saddling his fifth winner in the last three weeks, said: "She has been very consistent. She ran during the week and it is one of the last three-year-old handicaps over a mile and a quarter for a while so we said we'd let her take her chance.

"The penalty probably caught up with the Bolger horse, and hopefully she can win again."

Level Of Intensity won in Gowran Park on Tuesday and was fourth at Fairyhouse on Wednesday.
