I Can Fly could hardly have made a better start as she impressed under Seamie Heffernan in division two of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race) at Dundalk.

The Ballydoyle first-timer, a 240,000 guineas yearling, would have learned plenty as she squeezed up the inner of Raynama around a furlong and a half out.

In short time then the daughter of Fastnet Rock extended away to prevail by four lengths.

"Some of ours can be greener than we think but she wasn't," remarked Heffernan.

"She enjoyed herself and won very well. There was plenty to like about her, and she's a quick learner. She didn't mind the surface."
