< Morselle made it two wins in her last two starts with a battling victory in the Fairyhouse Welcomes Competitors Of The Tattersalls International Horse Trials Rated Race.
Dermot Weld's 5-2 chance tracked pacesetter Zunera throughout, and though for a brief moment the leader looked set to hold on, Morselle responded well to Pat Smullen's urgings to win by a neck.
Weld and Smullen had Postulation against odds-on favourite Sandro Botticelli in the jogforjockeys.ie Rated Race, but they were both firmly put in their place by Ger Lyons' 9-2 outsider of three Buenos Y Bobos who made all under Colin Keane to win convincingly.< Blue Paraiba justified favouritism with a gutsy effort to land the Your Clubs Fundraiser At Fairyhouse, Enquire Today Fillies Maiden.
John Oxx's 11-8 chance was always well placed under Declan McDonogh, before striking for home over a furlong out and getting the better of Duchessofflorence by a length.< Miss Elizabeth belied her inexperience when running out a game winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.
Eddie Lynam's newcomer was a 16-1 chance on her debut, but she squeezed through a gap near the rail under Wayne Lordan to deny favourite Mint Chai by a neck.
Another newcomer to taste success was Darren Bunyan's Enchanteresse who landed a gamble by taking the Next Racing At Fairyhouse June 10th Median Auction Maiden.
As big as 33-1 in the morning, Leigh Roche's mount was sent off 7-2 and despite her jockey losing his whip a furlong out, she overhauled Chenega Bay to score by three-quarters of a length.
Andrew Oliver's Fashion Forward (33-1) produced a strong late run under Billy Lee to land the Rockathon Returns To Fairyhouse September 5th Handicap.
The Promote Your Business At Fairyhouse In 2015 Apprentice Handicap produced a blanket finish, with Ian Queally on Donal Kinsella's King Of Oriel (14-1) just edging the verdict by a nose from Flowing Air with House Limit equally close in third.
