The Aidan O’Brien-trained three-year-old Light As Air, tackling two miles for the first time, bagged the €100,000 Colm White Bookmaker Beggar’s End Handicap in Naas, forging clear under Wayne Lordan, to beat longshot Vischio emphatically.
After O’Brien had attempted to switch Lordan on to second reserve Saratoga (sent off 2/1 favourite, finished fifth, under Jack Cleary), a request denied by the Stewards, Light As Air hit the front before the furlong-pole before asserting.
