Two meetings once again on Friday and in the evening meeting in Dundalk, the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes is one of the twin features and Aidan O’Brien, who won the race on four consecutive occasions from 2012 but only once since, can take this renewal with Cairo.

Runner-up over six furlongs on debut, he was a little outpaced at one point but stayed on strongly to the line to be beaten a head by Wave Machine, with subsequent maiden winners Mount Ruapehu, Spirit Gal, and Speirling Beag all behind.
