< Toe The Line (15-8) returned to action with a convincing triumph in the www.gowranpark.ie For Best Offers Race.

John Kiely's mare held her own in smart company last year, for all that she didn't manage to get her head in front, and appeared to be taking on another classy performer in the shape of odds-on favourite Radanpour

She travelled much more sweetly than him, though, and stormed home against the inside rail to score by nine lengths.

Famous Name's sister Discipline showed plenty of the family talent in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Dermot Weld's well-backed 4-11 favourite made her own running and despite Pat Smullen barely moving a muscle in the saddle, she careered seven and a half lengths clear of Fiuntach to make a very impressive beginning to her career.< Topaz Clear (11-4) was another well-related Weld newcomer to strike, this time in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

The half-sister to star stayer Forgotten Rules tracked market leader Pietro Testa until Smullen made his move at the top of the straight, and she overcame her inexperience to keep Warp Factor half a length at bay.< The Moore Factor was a facile winner for the Weld stable in the Societies Welcome At Gowran Park Golf Club (C & G) Maiden.

Again, Smullen dictated terms to suit himself and although hot favourite Pacodali was in close proximity halfway down the straight, Smullen eased the 6-4 chance away for a seven-and-a-half-length success.< Niven (2-1) struck for the second time in three days, finishing over the top of his Thomastown Handicap rivals in the final furlong to supplement Thursday's Limerick win under a 5lb penalty.

Successful on the same card earlier in the week, Oiche Mhaith Boy also followed up, landing the Family Fun Day June 19th Apprentice Handicap under Killian Leonard as the 7-4 market leader.< Elm Grove (6-1) turned the Racings Best Offer 19 Silver Package Handicap into a procession, winning by 14 lengths.
