Daniel Coyle with Just Happy Hero Z and Commandant Geoff Curran with Bishops Quarter (ISH) shared second place, with each picking up four faults in the last round.
Tipperary’s Trevor Breen galloped to victory in the 1m50 Dublin Stakes, crossing the line clear in the jump-off in exactly 36 seconds aboard Germaine W. Louth’s Mark McAuley, and Jasco Vd Bisschop took second place in 36.23, while third place went to French rider Megane Moissonnier and Bracadabra in 36.35.
Earlier Sligo’s Richard Howley partnered Chinook to victory in the Royal Dublin Society Stakes sponsored by Kilkea Castle 1m45. Derry’s Jordan Coyle and Picador finished as runners-up while third place went to Brazil’s Yuri Mansur and Away Semilly.
