As the sale neared its conclusion Pat Keane went to EUR30,000 to secure the useful Old Vic mare Balleen Rose, who was placed on two of her three bumper starts for trainer James Motherway last season.

This daughter of Accordion won easily at Fairyhouse and, although 6lb worse off with third-placed Balleen Rose, makes plenty of appeal.
