Having watched rival Colin Keane move three ahead in the title-race when winning Wednesday’s Navan opener on Alarm Call, Shane Foley responded in style by completing a superb treble, on Inflection Point, Laelaps and Newgirlintown, leaving the pair tied on the 75-winner mark.

Sprint specialist Kieran Cotter declared: “Shane has the key to him – he’s two from two on him,” after Foley partnered top-weight Inflection Point to victory in the five-furlong Newgrange Handicap, “He had bundles of ability, but the key to him is running him in a race where he can travel and enjoy himself – he was taken off his feet in the Curragh the last day.
