Curly powered away from the field to take the Listed finale in Naas and gave Aidan O'Brien a treble on the card.

She tanked along for Seamie Heffernan and put daylight between herself and her rivals in the final quarter of a mile. The race was over passing the furlong pole as she won well by two and a quarter lengths at 5/1.

"We're delighted. She had some good runs and Seamus gave her a great ride,” Aidan O'Brien said after this mile and a half contest.

“She's a Galileo and she just kept going. I'm delighted she's won a stakes race, she deserved it. She had some good runs in Group races.

“She's entitled to win a Listed race off her rating.

“She'll go to stud now.”

O'Brien earlier scored with San Andreas and Sarrocchi (also ridden by Heffernan).
