EARLSWOOD made it a 24 hours to remember for super-sub jockey Shane Kelly as he once again successfully deputised for the suspended Ben Cohen to win the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes, having also landed Group race spoils on Create Belief the previous evening at Leopardstown, both for trainer Johnny Murtagh.

Building on the promise of his Irish Derby run, when not blessed with the clearest of runs, Earlswood (114) registered a smooth success courtesy of a fine turn of speed that enabled the three-year-old colt to take full advantage of the gap between the front-running pair Bolivar and Finans Bay passing the furlong marker.
