COLIN Keane made a decisive early move on Geryon in Leopardstown’s feature, the Boyle Sports Meld Stakes, and it proved to be the winning of the Group 3 contest over a mile and a furlong.

The well-backed 11/10 favourite, owned by Newtown Anner Stud Farm, was slowest from stalls and Keane quickly assessed that the pace up front was slower than desired, so put his foot on the gas to take up the running after a furlong and a half.
