THE remarkable momentum of the Jessica Harrington string shows no signs of abating and the trainer moved on to 41-winner mark of a tremendous campaign as Servalan pounced late in the Listed Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes.

On just her second start of the season, and back to the course and distance that provided her with a stakes victory last season, the daughter of No Nay Never did especially well to land this six-furlong event as she didn’t enjoy a straightforward passage on the inner. She was stopped in her run a couple of times, notably approaching the last furlong, yet quickened up smartly for Shane Foley to land in front in the last few strides, denying Woody Creek by a short-head. The winner was among a trio of 11/2 co-favourites in what was a highly competitive edition of this race.
