Review curragh 28th Aug

Sun 28th Aug 2016, 18:00

< Somehow turned the Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes into a procession at the Curragh.

Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old was slowly away but is proven over further and Seamie Heffernan was content to bide his time on the 5-2 shot.

She made rapid headway early in the straight and once hitting the front just after the two-furlong pole, careered right away to cross the line with seven lengths in hand of Epsom Icon who pipped fellow British raider Skiffle for second.

O'Brien and Heffernan landed a second Group Three of the afternoon when Intelligence Cross stamped his class on the Round Tower Stakes.

The 11-8 favourite, who ran with credit behind Mehmas in the July Stakes and Richmond Stakes, was never far from the pace and after quickening to the front a furlong and a half out, stormed four and a quarter lengths away from Holy Cat

O'Brien's Taj Mahal has been costly to follow so far and once again had to settle for a supporting role, this time behind stable companion Yucatan (4-1) in the Ladbrokes EBF (C & G) Maiden.< Sea Of Grace (7-2) confirmed her Tipperary superiority over Eziyra in the Flame Of Tara EBF Stakes.

Eziyra was the even-money favourite, despite going under to her John Oxx-trained rival last month, and battled back to lead after being headed by Sea Of Grace inside the final quarter-mile, only for the daughter of Born To Sea to rally herself and she got the verdict by a neck.

There were excuses for Sea Wolf s Galway failure and he banished that to the memory in the Tote Irish Cambridgeshire.

Colin Keane brought the 9-1 shot to lead shortly after flashing past the two-furlong pole and then had enough in reserve to repel Sikandarabad by half a length.< Sors (7-1) lumped top weight to victory in the Tipperary Crystal Rose Of Tralee Handicap, while To Choose (10-1) repeated his victory of last year in the Derek O'Sullivan Memorial Apprentice Handicap.
