AIDAN O’Brien dominated the first session of a weekend of flat action at Naas with the victory of First Approach in the 50,000 euro Irish Stallion Farms EBF Birdcatcher Nursery the highlight of a 512/1 four-timer that gave the master of Ballydoyle yet another century of winners for the season.

The son of No Nay Never, who faded from over a furlong out when previously finishing in rear in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes, was much more at home in these calmer waters.
