Illusive for Aidan and Joseph O’Brien, made virtually all as he got off the mark on his third start in the Foxrock Maiden.

The son of Galileo, who is a full-brother to Rip Van Winkle, disappointed on his debut at the Curragh last September but finished a decent fourth on his first start as a three-year-old over the course in April.

Sent off at 10/3 this evening he disputed the lead in the early stages before hitting the front seven furlongs out.

He asserted when ridden a furlong and a half from home and he kept on well in the closing stages to score by three parts of a length. First Sitting (11/2 from 4’s) kept on to take second under Leigh Roche for Dermot Weld while Break My Mind was a further two and a quarter lengths back in third under Billy Lee for Eddie Lynam at 14/1. Lucent Dream was sent off the well-backed 3/1 favourite (available at 7’s this morning) but he could only manage fifth under Shane Foley for John McConnell.

Aidan O’Brien said afterwards: "It’s great that he has won and hopefully he will come forward from it. He won nicely. He quickened up well but he probably got a bit tired on the ground as he hasn’t run for a while."
