The Paddy Twomey-trained mare Pearls Galore, runner-up twice in Group 1 company last year, lived up to her star billing when proving a smooth winner of the listed Gradguide Heritage Stakes on Student Raceday in Leopardstown.
Backed into 4/5 favouritism, in the absence of Irish Lincoln winner Raadobarg, the five-year-old brushed past front running Pretreville at the furlong-pole and stretched away in the last hundred yards to score by two and a half lengths.
