LILLIE Langtry was made favourite with some firms for next year’s 1,000 Guineas after cutting down her rivals inside the final furlong to land the Group 2 Debutante Stakes over seven furlongs at Leopardstown.

PACO JACK is fancied to keep his unbeaten record over flights in the Devon Inn three-year-old Hurdle at the first stage of the Listowel Festival this afternoon.
