BILLY Lee had five rides at Sligo’s well-attended first meeting of the year and came away with a treble and two close seconds, with two winners trained by Paddy Twomey. The combination collected the feature Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap with Lady Mairen, who recorded her first success at odds of 11/2.

Robert Moran’s daughter of Dubawi had smart juvenile form, but missed out on her three-year-old season. Here, on her second outing of the campaign over the extended 10-furlong trip, she led before the straight and was ridden out to beat Chica Guerrera by a length and a half. Joseph O’Brien’s well-backed 11/4 favourite Yulia got no run in the home straight and finished fifth.
