Great Mover (8/1) gained a first victory on her fourteenth start when taking Gowran's Support The Irish Injured Jockeys Fund Apprentice Handicap.

The Eqtidaar filly had been placed four times prior to this including when second at Naas last month.

Close to the pace from the start, Megan Telford-Kelly sent her to the front approaching the straight and she asserted in the final furlong to beat market leader Positive Energy by four and three quarter lengths. 

It was a second success for the winning rider whose first had come at Gowran in May aboard Mogwli.

Willie McCreery, who trains the winner for the Probity Syndicate, said: “I’m delighted to get one in front, I think I’ve had 26 or 27 seconds this year.

 “She tries very hard this filly. Megan gave her a great ride the last day in Naas but just didn’t get to Hartys’ horse (Areana). 

“I told her today to jump out and conserve as much as possible. I thought she gave her a lovely ride and she seemed to love the ground.

“She did it nicely in the end. We’ll try and get her out again before the end of the year.”
