MUST MEETS CURRAGH CHALLENGE
By Thomas Deane, PA Sport

Kevin Prendergast's consistent Mustameet continued his good run of form when scoring for the fourth time this season in the ladbrokes.com International Stakes at the Curragh.
Declan McDonogh settled the five-year-old in mid-division through the early stages and moved upsides early pace-setter Kings Point as the field approached the final couple of furlongs.
Once McDonogh pressed the button at that point, Mustameet responded with a fine turn of foot that saw him shake off the attentions of Modeeroch and build what looked a winning lead.
As soon as he had done so, however, Ace emerged as a live threat once Kieren Fallon extricated him from a pocket on the far rails but Prendergast's 9-4 shot stayed on too stoutly to land the spoils.
Ace, the 5-4 favourite, was reverting to a mile for the first time since 2004 and finished strongly when in the clear to go down by a rapidly-diminishing head, with Jim Bolger's Modeeroch a further two lengths away in third.
Barry Hills' Killybegs fared best of the British duo in fourth as the Richard Fahey-trained Kings Point dropped away tamely to trail home last of the seven.
A delighted McDonogh said: "He's done it well and I'm delighted for everyone concerned today.
"Pat (Smullen) set a nice pace on Kings Point and I got a nice clear run and he picked up well when I asked him.
"He seems better than ever this season - I've ridden since he was two and he seems stronger than ever," he told At The Races.
Prendergast added: "He stuck at it well - he's been a great servant for a horse that has broken down twice.
"I don't know where we'll go now. There might be a race for him in Deauville in August."
