< Caravaggio was an emphatic winner on his seasonal reappearance in the EMS Copiers Lacken Stakes at Naas.

Unbeaten in four starts as a juvenile, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Scat Daddy colt was an 8-15 favourite on his return from 287 days off the track and justified those odds in style.

Ryan Moore's mount took it up from the pace-setting Gorane a furlong out and quickly raced clear with a smart turn of foot as he went on to cross the line four and three-quarter lengths clear of Psychedelic Funk who kept on for second.< Alpha Centauri confirmed her debut form with Actress when running out a very impressive winner of the Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies' Sprint Stakes.

Jessica Harrington's juvenile looked a smart prospect when scoring from O'Brien's runner over this course and distance at the start of the month and put that rival to the sword again, kicking clear at the business to justify 8-11 favouritism by five lengths.< Whitecliffsofdover failed to land the odds in third as Texas Rock sprang a surprise by making all in the Owenstown Stud Stakes.

The O'Brien-trained runner was sent off 8-13 favourite but his late rally wasn't enough to reel in Michael Grassick's 16-1 chance, who was sent straight to the front by Billy Lee and kept on well to hold Drumfad Bay by a head.< True Blue Moon (8-1) backed up his Dundalk debut success with another nice performance in the Coolmore War Command Rochestown Stakes.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained youngster came through strongly under Donnacha O'Brien in the closing stages to beat Verhoyen by half a length.< Constant Comment (8-1) got up late to deny Betty Loch by a neck when landing the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden for Jim Bolger.

Have a Nice Day (10-1) edged out Mr Right by a neck to prevail in a thrilling finish to the Kildare Post & Kildare Now Handicap, while Mick Halford got on the scoresheet as Allography (7-1) took the concluding Follow Us On Facebook Handicap by half a length from Escape Clause
