The mare, one of just four horses trained by Duffy at his Trim base, emerged on top in the hugely competitive handicap after an eventful day that included her horsebox breaking down en route to Ballybrit. He’s back for another crack at the race with another mare that looks to hold a leading chance and Keane again booked to ride. Keane is looking for a fourth win in the feature.
It is a formidable challenge but Plume Noir’s credentials appear to be sound since she proved her stamina for a mile by winning at Naas in May. Lady Marien makes her debut on Tuesday for last year’s winning trainer Paddy Twomey, although experience could count for a lot if Marazion progresses for her debut in a hot Curragh maiden.
