After his win on Bonus Time in the opener, Noli Timere completed a double for Colin Keane in the LubriSyn HA Premium Equine Joint Protection Fillies Maiden.

Well-supported from 5s into 11/4 favouritism, the Michael O'Callaghan-trained chestnut soon tracked the leaders and while briefly short of room early in the straight, she got the desired gap from the two-furlong pole.

In first time cheekpieces, the Eleanora Kennedy-owned market leader was ridden to the front with a furlong to go and she kept on well from there to score by three-lengths.

Bidding to complete a quick cross-card double for Andy Slattery, Therewillbeglory (6/1) came through to take second, while Maarisha (66/1) was half-a-length back in third.

"She's a lovely filly and has taken a bit of time but is one we have always liked," O'Callaghan reflected.

“We put cheek pieces on today more to sharpen her up dropping back from a mile and one.

“Colin said a mile is her trip and she’ll improve for slower ground. That is as quick as she wants it and we’ll probably go hunting for a little bit of black type.”

STEWARDS REPORT

A.J. Slattery, rider of Therewillbeglory, trained by Andrew Slattery, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ran around off the bridle.
