Vociferous makes a noise at Navan to win Salsabil Stakes

Trainer Jim Bolger with Moonlight Magic after winning The Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial Stakes during Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial Day at Leopardstown Racec

Vociferous Marina came from last to first as she landed the Coolmore Stud EBF Salsabil Stakes in thrilling fashion at Navan.

Jim Bolger's charge looked anything but winner at the back of the field as Pocketfullofdreams took it up from fellow Aidan O'Brien representative Key To My Heart three furlongs out and pulled clear.

It was just inside the two-furlong marker that the 20/1 outsider began to motor down the outside and with the Ballydoyle runner looking in need of the line, Kevin Manning's mount pounced in the dying strides to land the Listed event with a length and a half to spare.

Bolger could now look to step his Darley Irish Oaks entrant further up the ladder.

He said: "The trip and ground made a difference to her.

"She had a good run at the Curragh last year and we might as well try and go all the way with her now.

"I might just consider the Musidora (at York) or the Blue Wind at Naas. They are around the same time."
