Shane Foley, successful earlier on Success Days in the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes, completed a 186/1 double when 16/1 chance Princess Aloof captured the closing Follow Leopardstown On Facebook Handicap.

This Big Bad Bob filly hadn't been seen out since October, but Jessica Harrington had the four-year-old, running in the colours of her late husband, Johnny, well ready for this seven furlong assignment.

She finished off strongly to beat Lean And Keen and Oor Jock by a length and a quarter and two and a half lengths.

"It's nice to get going but I nearly didn't run her as I thought the ground would be too soft. She was ready to go though, and I'm delighted with her," said Mrs Harrington.

"She'll keep going during the summer. She's won at two, three and four now.

"Shane sat and waited and waited. I saw him take a pull turning in and he just decided to let them go and come with one run. She has won over a mile and one before so she stays." (GC & EM)
