Sweetasever came with a swooping run to get her head in front close home in the The Navan Members Handicap over a mile.

She was backed in from 10/1 to 7/1 and began her challenge at the furlong pole. She kept on well to beat Nimitz (12/1) by a neck. Pantsonfire (8/1) and Butoolat (10/1) completed the placings.

Jockey Connor King said: "She's a lovely filly and she had a few good runs and it is great that she won today.

"He (trainer Joseph O'Brien) was quietly confident but with so many runners you don't know. He was fairly hopeful. It was great it worked out today.

"I was travelling well, I got a good position and I always felt I was going to win. She found plenty."
