Jessica Harrington's Hotazhell bags Beresford Stakes at the Curragh

Hotazhell got back to winning ways with a tough success in the Montane Developments Beresford Stakes at the Curragh and could bid for Group One glory at Doncaster next.

Jessica Harrington's colt was denied a hat-trick when second in the Irish Futurity Stakes last time and was ridden by Shane Foley as the 2-1 joint-favourite on his return to the same track.

Foley had to get active in the saddle at an early stage in the race but he was clearly right in thinking the bay had more to offer, as the duo eventually ground out a three-quarter-length win from Tennessee Stud.
