LAYFAYETTE (7/2) bounced back to his best form in the Group 3 Fitzdares Royal Whip Stakes for Noel Meade and Colin Keane at the Curragh on Sunday.

The six-year-old was held up, as his is wont, in the 10-furlong contest and alongside his stablemate Helvic Dream, he gradually got himself into contention down the outside of runners in the straight.
