The Eddie Lynam-trained filly dictated matters from the front in the Listed contest, under Johnny Murtagh, and stayed on stoutly inside the final furlong to score by two-and-a-half lengths.

There was also a terrific finish to the Irish Pride Big Toast EBF Maiden with the John Oxx-trained Caribbean coming with a late rattle to collar River Tiber close home for a narrow success.
Eklim completed the treble in great style when sprinting clear inside the final furlong to land the Irish Pride Rustic Grain Race by five lengths from Sky High Flyer.

Church Island also had it easy, under Denis O'Regan, as he recorded a hat-trick over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Captain Christy Novice Chase.
