MAGICAL belatedly opened her account for the season when making all the running in the Group 2 Kilboy Estate Stakes at the Curragh.

Winner of the Debutante Stakes at this level on this course last summer, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly had been well-beaten on heavy ground on her only previous start in 2018, but got back on track with a solid display.

Ryan Moore made his intentions clear from the start by taking Magical to the front from the outset and the 5/4 favourite found extra when tackled by the four-year-old I'm So fancy in the final furlong to score by two and three-quarter lengths.

The winner's stable companion Broadway was two lengths away in third , but September was a big disappointment for the O'Brien team, finishing last on her seasonal debut after being slowly away.
