David Wachman's well-regarded juvenile Most Beautiful stepped forward from her promising debut run to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden at Navan.
The daughter of Canford Cliffs was beaten into fourth when favourite on her first start at Naas, but punters were unconcerned and she again led the market, this time at 5-4.
Wayne Lordan always had her handy just behind the pace set by Love Is All Around and she eased into the lead a quarter of a mile out before quickening clear and then holding off market rival Waterloo Bridge by a length and three-quarters.
Ger Lyons and Colin Keane combined for a double, which was completed when 7-1 chance Unsinkable ran on strongly to take the Come Racing For Summer Ladies Day June 13th Handicap on his step up to 10 furlongs.
The grey hit the front on the turn for home and as much as evens favourite Ripples Effect tried to bridge the gap coming down the straight, there were still two and a half lengths in it when they passed the post.
Stablemate Ardhoomey (7-4 favourite) won as he liked in the Navan Welcomes Owners Maiden, getting away from the gates quickly and stretching away from the two-furlong pole to score easily by four and three-quarter lengths.
Aidan O'Brien sent out the favourite Cenotaph for the Trimgate Street Maiden, but he faded out of it after leading and the race went to stablemate Outspoken (11-4), who swept clear late on under Donnacha O'Brien and won by three and a half lengths.
Mick Mulvany's six-year-old Battleroftheboyne (11-1) doesn't win often but he got his head in front for the fourth time when leading deep inside the final furlong to take the Like Navan On Facebook Handicap by a length and a quarter under Gary Carroll.< Benkei (3-1 favourite) led at the top of the straight and pulled clear to take the Follow Navan On Twitter Handicap under Pat Smullen, while 20-1 shot Muraabit and Connor King got up in the shadow of the post in the Bective Restaurant Handicap.
