Shane Foley gave Harley's Harley a finely judged front-running ride in the nursery at Leopardstown.

'Dusty' kicked on turning for home and soon poached a few lengths on his rivals in the seven furlong contest.

Arthur Moore 's charge stayed on strongly in the closing stages to post a length-and-three-quarters verdict over Newberry Hill

The winner was supplementing a maiden success at Sligo in August and was sent off 7/2 joint favourite with the third-placed Harmonic Note

"She did it well. It wasn't the plan to make the running but they went very steady," revealed Foley afterward. "She kicked on and enjoyed it."
