Lady Bennett took Down Royal’s feature race, the fillies handicap, when getting on top of her rivals in the last 100 yards to score by half a length and justify 3/1 favouritism. Dart Queen (9/1) was runner-up, one length in front of Gypsie Queen (9/2).

Several horses looked to have chances at the furlong pole including eventual fourth Adiynara but Charlie Swan’s three-year-old filly came home best.

Swan said: “She got a nice bit of weight off the older horses. Chris gave her a lovely ride as she’s not simple.

“She’s entered at Galway and we might put her out again quickly.

“She is in there on the Thursday (three-year-olds only) and later in the week (three-year-olds and upwards). Both races are over a mile and a half which I think she gets.”
