Reverberation wins well for Lambe and Ryan

Reverberation benefited from a patient ride by Gavin Ryan when taking division 1 of the 45-65 rated handicap over 7f.

Eventual runner-up Stamp Of Authority went hard in front and had most of his rivals hard at work halfway down the home straight.

The winner, having been settled towards the rear, was switched to the outer over a furlong out and picked up well as the front runner began to wilt.

The Excelebration gelding, winning for the first time on Turf after two wins at Dundalk including on his previous start in March, raced away for a four length win.

It was 5lbs claimer Ryan’s second win on the 5-y-o, who started his career with Sylvester Kirk in Britain.

“I thought he'd need the run and he'll improve loads,” said winning trainer James Lambe.

“A lot of mine seem to be taking a run this year. A mile will probably suit him as he won going away.

“He's in at Leopardstown on Wednesday and I just thought he'd benefit from the run today.

“Mine had a nice bit of a break down the lockdown. He came here on the back of two pieces of work.

"I thought he'd run well but thought he would need it.

"I ran him over 7f as I knew he’d come home well."
