Harry Swan gave She Was The One a positive front-running ride as she made the breakthrough in the mares bumper at Listowel.

The Denis Hogan-trained filly went to post 15/8 favourite today having been placed on her first two racecourse outings.

She was asked to stretch early in the home straight and asserted going to the furlong pole to post a convincing four-length success over the staying-on Shuil Solas .

"She had a couple of nice runs and a lovely run (when second) in a point-to-point as well,” said Hogan.

“It was initially the late Hugh Mulryan who owned her, and I asked was it ok if he sold her to stay in my yard, to owner John Mahon.

"I was talking to Liam (Mulryan, Hugh's father) this morning and told him to back her, so I hope he did. She is improving, I've always liked her and hopefully she has a good future over jumps."
