Review naas 9th Apr

< Diamond Fields came fast and late to land the Group Three Gladness Stakes at Naas.

Chris Hayes was sat in last place on Fozzy Stack's 9-2 chance, but she picked up well in the closing stages, collaring Alice Springs in the final furlong and going on to score by half a length.

British raider Air Pilot got up in the dying strides to deny Success Days in the Dr Vincent O'Brien Centenary Alleged Stakes.

Ralph Beckett's charge was the last to lay down a challenge on the pacesetting Success Days, and Fran Berry timed it right as the 6-1 chance gradually wore down that rival to win by a head.

The gamble was landed in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden as T For Tango took first prize.

As big as 16-1 in the morning, James Nash's charge was sent off a 5-1 chance and quickened away nicely a furlong out under Pat Smullen, holding on well to beat the fast-finishing Guessthebill by a head.

Smullen made it a double when guiding Sorelle Delle Rose to a convincing win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

He kept Dermot Weld's 6-5 favourite near the front rank early and quickened away impressively, beating Camiyra by three lengths.

He combined with Weld to land his third win of the day when guiding Tocca D'Amore to an emphatic win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

The 9-1 chance produced a startling burst of speed to mow down her rivals and streak clear, beating Clongowes by six lengths.< Rapid Applause (9-1) produced a stirring late run to gun down Mizaah and land the Racing Again May 1st Handicap for trainer Michael O'Callaghan and jockey Leigh Roche.< Aared was another to produce a strong late surge in the Panoramic Restaurant Handicap.

Kevin Prendergast's 9-2 chance was simply irresistible once hitting top gear under Gary Halpin, beating Sister Blandina by a length and a quarter.
