## Magny Cours Lands Cork Feature Under Coen

**Colin Keane** rode earlier winner **Likedbymike** (11/4F) to victory in the Listed Abergwaun Stakes over 5f, defeating **Erosandpsyche** by three-quarters of a length for trainer M J Byrne. Our [preview of the fixture featured Pivotal Attack as the leading contender](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/30/cork-little-big-bear-pivotal-attack-weight-test/), though the favourite proved a non-runner. The Cork Group 3 result validated the strength of the day’s competition.

**Bamako Beach** (11/8F) won the 7f Glenvale Stud Race under Seamie Heffernan for M D O’Callaghan. **Eighteenth Smiles** returned at 14/1 to take the opening maiden, while **Feel Happy** (4/1) landed the closing 6f contest for Donnacha Aidan O’Brien.
