Clive Cox's Gilt Edge Girl led home a British-trained one-two-three in the Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown.

Sent off a 9-1 chance in what looked a warm Group Three, the Monsieur Bond filly belied her odds with a commanding display.< Miss Gorica set a searching tempo in the six-furlong dash, and ultimately did well to finish fourth, but she could not cope with the three raiders and the winner recorded a one and a quarter-length triumph under Luke Morris.

The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap went to John Oxx's Shareen who capitalised on her initial mark of 75 with a determined half-length verdict over Hedaaya
