Izzi Top won at the highest level for the first time as she swept to an impressive victory in the Barclays Bank Ireland Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh.
Winner of both her races this season, at Newmarket and York, the John Gosden-trained daughter of Pivotal was sent off a 6-4 chance and settled in second place as the four runners travelled in single file behind Dermot Weld's challenger Sapphire.
Izzi Top quickly picked up the leader when asked the question by William Buick going to the furlong pole and though she didn't do a lot in front in the testing conditions, she had plenty left to hold the odds-on favourite by a length and a quarter.

The remarkable Famous Name secured his 17th career victory in the Friarstown Stud International Stakes at the Curragh.
A winner of this 10-furlong contest in two of the last three years, Dermot Weld's 4-7 favourite went about his business with his usual professionalism and never looked in danger under regular rider Pat Smullen.
