Near 12/1 treble for Weld and Smullen Earlier on the mark with Discipline and The Moore Factor, Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen completed a treble at Gowran when Topaz Clear made a victorious debut in the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Maiden. A daughter of Pivotal taking on three colts, the half-sister to Forgotten Rules travelled sweetly through the twelve furlong event. The Moyglare Stud Farm three-year-old battled it out well for a half a length verdict over Warp Factor. The Ballydoyle pair, Pietro Testa and Three Star General were three lengths and two lengths further back. "It was a trappy little race. She did it well and battled well," said Weld. "We'll try and find a winners' of one for her. For mile-and-a-half horses they cantered around and it turned into a three furlong sprint which wasn't ideal." Owing to ground conditions, the Stewards granted permission for races five, six and seven to be started by flag. (GC & EM)
