Patrick Prendergast served up a Down Royal double for owner Richard Barnes including victory in the feature race, Her Majesty's Plate, with the classy Manalapan

Only three went to post and Chris Hayes set out to make all on the 4-5 favourite, who had indicated he was at the top of his game with a fine run in second behind Pale Mimosa at Leopardstown earlier this month.< El Salvador who stays much further than this near one mile five furlongs, tracked him in second but was in trouble a long way out, while Sir Ector could never get into the contest, and the winning distance was two and a half lengths.

Prendergast also struck in the Apple Orchard Handicap with 8-1 shot Windward Passage who looked booked for second when Spring Focus loomed up, but rallied under Fergal Lynch to score by two and a half lengths.< Belle Et Bete was found wanting in Group Three company on her last start, but she showed her appreciation for a drop in class in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.

Ger Lyons' 9-10 favourite was soon on the heels of leader Manny Owens and quickened to the front at the two pole before being kept up to her work by Colin Keane to win by eight and a half lengths.

There was no luck for the jockey and trainer in the Magners Berry Maiden when favourite Belts And Braces was trapped on the rail as Michael Grassick jnr's Texas Rock (10-3) was driven into the lead by Niall McCullagh to score by a length and a half, giving the handler his first Flat winner.

Aidan O'Brien's 10-11 favourite Shell House who broke her maiden at Naas last month, followed up with an all-the-way success in the Magners Irish Cider Fillies Handicap, digging deep for Joseph O'Brien to score by a length.

Johnny Murtagh and his daughter Caroline combined to land the Now Is A Good Time Handicap when 3-1 favourite Fix It held on by a head, while Danny Grant led all the way on Little Sweetheart (10-1) for a six-length success in the Magners Light Handicap.
