Angel's Amy pulverised the opposition in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap over a mile at Listowel.

Gary Carroll sent her clear in the final quarter of a mile and she strode right away to score by seven lengths at 9/2. Mean Fomhair the 2/1 favourite, could make no impression in second with Angels a further couple of lengths adrift in third at 10/1.

Trainer Joseph Murphy said: "We think a lot of her and she has never been out of the first two. We'll probably go for either the Knockaire or Navigation Stakes now.

"She is on the up, is bred by her owner Alfred Sweetnam and I think he will have at least a placed black-type filly in the making to go to stud with anyway.

"I was a bit worried the ground might be tacky but she handled that today and Gary (Carroll) said she had a fifth leg on it. She is a filly to look forward to afterwards."
