Tough and consistent five-year-old Layfayette rewarded trainer Noel Meade’s decision to swerve a bid for a second Irish Lincoln at the Curragh on Saturday when landing the listed Plusvital Devoy Stakes in Naas on Sunday.
Providing his rider Oisin Orr with a welcome early-season boost, 11-2 shot Layfayette swooped down the outside to master favourite Licence by a half-length to record his second stakes success, having won the Lenabane Stakes in Roscommon last June.
