< Fort Del Oro proved to be the class act in the Yeomanstown Stud Dark Angel EBF Stakes at Naas.
Well supported down to 10-11, the favourite was going so well that she carried Billy Lee to the front with two furlongs to travel.
Lee waited a while longer to ask for maximum effort, but the response was there when he did and Eddie Lynam's filly took the Listed spoils by a cosy three-quarters of a length from Buying Trouble < Endless Drama boosted his confidence with a classy display in the Follow Naas Racecourse On Facebook Race.
Last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up strolled to the front halfway down the straight and Colin Keane didn't have to resort to the whip for the 1-3 favourite to dispose of General Macarthur by two and a half lengths.< Mr Scarlet confirmed the promise of his debut fourth in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Gary Carroll was never too far away on the Sheila Lavery-trained 7-1 chance and showed a decent turn of foot when popped the question to beat Mayleaf Shine by a length and three-quarters.
Carroll followed up when Three Bells (13-2) held on in the Queally Group Supporting Naas Parish Community Handicap, hitting the front just inside the final furlong before fending off I Will Excel by half a length.< Markhan was the only three-year-old in the line-up for the Naas Racecourse On Facebook Handicap but came on on top in a thrilling finish.
The 6-1 shot was tackled by Stronger Than Me throughout the final furlong but wouldn't be denied and flashed past the post a neck to the good.< Peacehaven was the most experienced runner in the Grace's Pub Naas Supporting Naas Parish Community Maiden by some way and battled hard to repel Nuala Tagula by half a length as the 9-4 favourite, while Fairy Foxglove (16-1) landed the www.naasracecourse.com Apprentice Handicap.
