Experience gained the day in the opener at Leopardstown as Silver Sycamore delivered on outing number four under Shane 'Dusty' Foley for Jessica Harrington.

The victorious grey American-bred made all and she was clear in the final quarter mile, going on to account for the well-backed favourite Oh So Lucy (3s in the morning into 7/4 and a bit ponderous out of the stalls) by three lengths.

Emma Galway, daughter and assistant to Mrs Harrington said: "We're delighted with that and she came out of her last run much stronger.

"We should have made more use of her the last day and we learned a lot from the run. She needs a mile and today was the plan so I'm not sure where she'll go now.

"Mum is at Howard Spooner's wedding today."
