Ken Condon’s fantastic season with his two-year-olds got even better at Naas when Miss Amulet got up late to win the listed Arqana Irish EBF Marwell Stakes with something to spare.
Odds-on favourite Frenetic set out to make all and, for much of the trip, looked like doing so. The winner, on the other hand, was caught in a pocket a furlong out and Billy Lee had to work hard to extricate his mount from that position. Once out, the Cork maiden winner quickened up stylishly to get on top late for an ultimately cosy success.
