< Acapulco began her career with Aidan O'Brien by outclassing her rivals in the Sole Power Sprint Stakes at the Curragh.

Such a good two-year-old for Wesley Ward a couple of seasons ago, the daughter of Scat Daddy, who is in-foal to Galileo, was appearing for the first time since November on her Irish debut.

Sent off the 11-8 favourite, she wasn't exactly scintillating but showed that the acceleration is still there and after hitting the front a furlong out under Donnacha O'Brien, proved half a length too strong for the running-on Ardhoomey

That completed a double for the O'Briens, which began when Actress had no problem justifying 1-3 favouritism in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden.

Irishcorrespondent lived up to the hype with a clear-cut success in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Race.

Michael Halford's 8-11 favourite cruised into the lead around a furlong out and coasted home four and a half lengths clear of Homesman

Life with Ger Lyons clearly agrees with Mawaany who landed the Cross' SuperValu Handicap in the hands of Colin Keane.

Dermot Weld's veteran was bidding to supplement a Tipperary triumph last month and did so in gritty fashion, sticking his neck out when pressed by Joseph O'Brien's runner to prevail by half a length as the 13-8 favourite.

Weld and Pat Smullen followed up with 2-1 favourite Dabulena in the Keadeen Hotel Fillies Maiden, and Smullen also took the Newbridge Parishes Race Day Handicap on Not A Whisper while Gopsies Daughter (16-1) denied Palavicini Run in a head-bobbing finish to the PG Duffy & Sons Citroen Handicap.
