ALLURINGLY lunged late to claim top honours in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran Park.

Aidan O'Brien's American-born filly had finished third in the Investec Oaks at Epsom and sixth in both the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Irish Oaks at the Curragh on her three most recent starts.

Dropped in grade for her latest assignment, she was the 7/4 favourite in the hands of Seamie Heffernan and finished powerfully in the extended nine-furlong contest to get up and beat Dermot Weld's Making Light and Pat Smullen by a neck.

Elegant Pose, previously unbeaten after two starts for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane, was not disgraced in finishing third, just a length and a quarter away.

Heffernan said: "She was classiest filly in the race. She was a bit disappointing on her last two runs, but I always felt I was going to get there today.

"We haven't seen the best of her. She ran well at Chester (second to Enable in Cheshire Oaks) and and it looks like she's back to what we think she is."

STRONG DISPLAY

Fiesole produced another strong display to land his third win of the summer in the McEnery Cup Handicap.

Twice a winner over timber and a maiden scorer on the level since May, the 8/1 chance was driven into the lead over pacesetter Percy at the furlong pole.

Denis Linehan had left enough in reserve on Eoin Doyle's charge and he kept on bravely to beat Here For The Craic, with Percy third.

Solar Wave showed plenty of resilience to open her account at the fourth attempt in the Join The Gowran Park Racing Club For 100 Euros Nursery.

Jim Bolger's 7/1 chance was held up just behind the leaders early on, but Kevin Manning pushed her into the lead two furlongs out and she battled on well to beat Outside Inside by a length and three-quarters.

Bolger said: "She only has one eye but it doesn't seem to do her any harm and she seems to handle any ground. It looks like she will get a bit further and she's out of a mare by Galileo, that always helps.

"We'll see what the handicapper does and she may go for another nursery."

Bolger and Manning made it a double when Panstarr (7/1) beat 7/2 favourite Rickrack by three and a half lengths in the nine and a half-furlong Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
