BLANC De Blanc (9/4) survived a stewards’ enquiry to make a winning debut in the View Restaurant At Dundalk Fillies Maiden, and was the first leg of a double for Donagh O’Connor.

She drifted right when leading a furlong and a half down and, in the process, hampered 11/8 favourite Astronomically. The leader kept on best, however, to hold the runner-up by a neck for Robson De Aguiar and Amo Racing Limited.
