Review navan 23rd Apr

Jessica Harrington maintained her dazzling form as Torcedor upset Order Of St George to make all in the Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan.

The latter was sent off 4-5 favourite on his first start for 190 days and was held up as Colm O'Donoghue adopted positive tactics on the winner following a recent victory at Leopardstown.

Aidan O'Brien's runner did stay on for Seamie Heffernan but the 4-1 chance kept up the gallop in front to land the Group Three by a length and a half.

That completed a double for Harrington and O'Donoghue after they took the Coolmore Stud Power Stakes with Khukri < Alphabet travelled like the winner as he took it up from pacesetters Miss Cogent and Gorane over a furlong out but O'Brien's charge faded tamely when challenged by the 8-1 winner, who finished strongly to score by three-quarters of a length from Gorane.< Vociferous Marina flew home to spring a 20-1 surprise in the Coolmore Stud E.B.F. Salsabil Stakes.

Jim Bolger's charge had the whole field to pass as Pocketfullofdreams took over in front from fellow O'Brien representative Key To My Heart three furlongs out and kicked clear.

However, Kevin Manning's mount began to make up ground as they passed the two-furlong marker and motored down the outside to collar the Ballydoyle runner in the dying strides for a length-and-a-half victory in the Listed event.

Bolger and Manning completed a double of their own when Pirolo justified 4-1 favouritism by a neck from Zamira in the concluding Come To The Family Day May 20th Handicap.< Too Familiar (20-1) picked up nicely when getting daylight to land the opening Coolmore Stud Requinto E.B.F. Fillies Maiden by half a length from Crown Leah < Brave Display made a bold bid from the front in the Slane Handicap only to be denied in the dying strides by Ken's Sam's who rattled home to get up by a head at 10-1, while Wingingit (9-1) won the Wesco Electrical Forty-Fifth Anniversary Handicap in similar last-gasp style as Noel Meade's runner touched off Pandagreen by three-quarters of a length.
