Unbeaten Lancaster House impresses O'Brien

The progressive Lancaster House maintained his unbeaten record with a dominating display in the Listed Edmund & Josie Whelan Memorial Listowel Stakes over nine furlongs.

The three-year-old son of Galileo chased Wargrave off the home bend and collared him over a furlong out.

The race was over in the final furlong as she strode away for a comfortable victory by two and three quarter lengths.

The winner was returned the 7/4 favourite with runner-up Wargrave attracting plenty of support at 14/1.

Third-placed Winiata also was well punted down to 8/1 from as big as 33/1 in the morning in a race dominated by three-year-olds.

Aidan O'Brien 's winner made it three from three with this performance.

Jockey Donnacha O'Brien said: “That’s the best feel he’s given me so far. From (stall) 17, to have the pace to get up to a position like that early, he has done very well. He travelled around very easy.

"He impressed me today - I think he’s quite a decent horse. I thought a mile and a quarter was going to be his trip, but he travelled so easy and showed a lot of speed today so a mile or a mile and a quarter are his trips.”
