Great Heavens showed a tremendous turn of foot to take the Darley Irish Oaks in testing conditions at the Curragh.
The John Gosden-trained filly looked beaten two furlongs out as the pace quickened, with Shirocco Star tightening up Was at the head of affairs before seeing off the Epsom Oaks heroine.
William Buick pulled Great Heavens out for a run and once in the clear, she took off in tremendous style to zip past the field down the outside and beat Shirocco Star by three lengths.

Grafelli secured a second win on the bounce in the Jebel Ali Stables & Racecourse Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh in the absence of likely hot favourite Cristoforo Colombo due to the ground.
The Group Three contest had an open look to it and Jim Bolger's colt (9-4) handled the conditions best of all, ploughing through the mud to beat the Andrew Oliver-trained Hard Yards by six and a half lengths.
Ballydoyle jockey Joseph O'Brien switched to Count Of Limonade, who was sent off the 7-4 favourite, but he was eventually well beaten after holding every chance.
