THE classic-winning duo of Lyons and Keane added to their burgeoning haul and on the evidence of this success, Lemista’s graph might not have levelled off yet.

The three-year-old was always travelling comfortably and moved effortlessly into the lead off the bend, with four-year-old Come September coming out of the pack to claim valuable blacktype while finishing two lengths adrift in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Stakes over nine and a half furlongs.

A Group 3 winner over a mile at Naas in March and now winner of three of her five career starts, Lemista holds several big-race entries including next month's Group 1 Kerrygold Irish Oaks.

The Glenburnie crew had gotten off the mark when Roca Roma (1/2) defied a wide-draw to record a pillar-to-post triumph in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for three-year-old fillies.

Murtagh and Ben Coen combined for a double, providing the Curragh conditioner with a treble on the day and a stunning strike rate of seven winners from his previous 13 runners to that point.

Sonnyboyliston (10/3) claimed the It’s Not Rocket Science MansionBet Handicap for the Kildare Racing Club, seeing out the mile very well to score by a length and a half from Meaningful Vote.

The duo followed-up 30 minutes later in the first division of the MansionBet’s Get Paid As A Winner Handicap and it was an even easier task for Coen, who took Wilderness (6/1) to the front out of the stalls.

Although challenged by Pillmakers Hill, the Cityscape filly asserted once more to take the honours by three and a quarter lengths.

There was a first winner of the season for Meath trainer Paddy Rogers and despite Mikey Sheehy charting a wide path, he rarely had cause for concern as The Lady’s Bid (8/1) scooted clear of the always-prominent Attack At Dawn in the MansionBet’s Get Paid As A Winner Handicap.

Denis Hogan and owner James McAuley received a boost ahead of Sceptical’s bid for Royal Ascot glory when Joe Doyle navigated Dalvey (9/1) to the spoils in the Division 1 of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for three-year-old colts and geldings, but it was much tougher in the second division for Keats (8/13), who was giving O’Brien an Irish cross-card double to complement his 74th Royal Ascot victory (delivered by Santiago in the Queen’s Vase).

The closing MansionBet Proud To Support Irish Racing Handicap went to Protagonist (3/1jf), who was having his first run for Jessica Harrington and moved to the front easily two furlongs out when asked to do so by Shane Foley.
