PADDY Twomey looks to have another classic filly on his hands in A Lilac Rolla (9/2) who battled hard to stay unbeaten in the Group 3 Ballylinch Stud Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown on Sunday.

The daughter of Harry Angel sat in fifth for Billy Lee for much of the seven-furlong contest. The pair looked to be travelling best after the two-furlong stage, but once moved up to challenge long-time leader Kitty Rose, a battle ensued with Natalia Lupini’s game runner, and there was only a head separating the pair at the line, with two and three quarter lengths back to the running on Buttons.
