< Tilly's Chilli completed a hat-trick with an all-the-way triumph in the Royal County Handicap at Navan.

Jessie Harrington's filly scored narrowly at Limerick in April before winning more decisively at Roscommon, but was 11lb higher than when her spree began.

Tom Madden was positive from the outset and when he kicked early in the straight, the 5-1 chance was to establish a gap that never looked like been eroded and Tilly's Chilli crossed the line three lengths ahead of Ontheiflist < Treasuring confirmed the promise of her debut second by going one better in the Lynn Lodge Stud Irish EBF Maiden.

Ger Lyons' filly was put in her place by Declarationofpeace at Dundalk but knew more of what was required of her this time and after taking it up just over a furlong out, stretched nicely clear to account for Yulong Warrior by two and three-quarter lengths as the 3-1 favourite.

Lyons looked like following up when the well-backed Savannah Storm threw down a big challenge in the navanracecourse.ie Handicap.

However, he couldn't quite master Sea The Lion (14-1), who fought tooth and nail for Rory Cleary and prevailed by a neck.

Lyons and Keane did end up with a double thanks to Gold Spinner s success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race.

The 6-5 favourite beat subsequent Gallinule runner-up Born To Play at Cork and took his game to a new level in beating Elizabeth Browning by a length and three-quarters.< Haripour (4-1) was found wanting in Listed company at the last meeting here, but the Barbecue And Evening Racing July 14th Maiden was much more to his liking and he sprinted five and a half lengths away from Erratic Path

The lightly-raced Magic Bear (11-2) defied top weight on her return to action in the Summer Ladies Day Apprentice Handicap, while Sweetasever (7-1) took the Navan Members Handicap.
