< Great White Eagle (2-1) made a taking start to his career with a smooth debut success under Joseph O'Brien in the Michael T. O'Maille Race at Naas.

Aidan O'Brien's American-bred colt went through the sales ring for a whopping 760,000 guineas in April and looks sure to win plenty of races having cruised to a two and three-quarter length victory over Johnny Murtagh's Gold Peregrine < Altruistic trained and ridden by Murtagh, also wasted no time getting off the mark, taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at the first attempt.

Killian Hennessy guided the Dylan Thomas filly home by five lengths ahead of Enigma Code

The 16-1 chance came through to lead approaching the final furlong and held on by a neck from the fast-finishing Bangalore Diamond < Rockview Emperor bounced back from a moderate Down Royal run to break his maiden tag in the Book On-Line At Naasracecourse.com Handicap.

Gary Carroll pushed John McConnell's three-year-old gelding to a two-length win over Have A Nice Day < Wannabe Better (100-30) finally opened her account for Tommy Stack and Wayne Lordan in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
