Pleascach turned out quickly at Leopardstown last night and made it pay with an impressive success in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning.

Backed into 1/2 favourite, the J P McManus-owned Shield delivered for Aidan and Joseph O’Brien in the two-mile bookigs@dundalkstadium.com Maiden in Dundalk last night.
