AN enthralling finale saw Erysimum return from almost three months off the track to come out the right side of a titanic finish to the Listed Vincent O’Brien Ruby Stakes.

In a race where the first five home were covered by no more than half a length, Erysimum (5/1) maintained the progression that she showed in the first few months of the season. Willie McCreery’s charge started the season with a rating of 73 but has improved markedly with each run and, having claimed a precious first blacktype triumph, she is now set to step up to pattern level.
