SUNCHART (6/1) once again proved his liking for Naas by winning the TOTE Irish EBF Devoy Stakes for the second year in succession. Andy Slattery’s stable stalwart claimed the biggest victory of his career in this listed heat 12 months ago and repeated the feat on his first start since October.

Dallas Star took the field along for much of the 10-furlong contest, before being joined by the favourite Trustyourinstinct, but the Pat Garvey-owned Sunchart soon arrived on the outside, under the trainer’s son Andrew, to throw down his challenge.
