The 84-rated Together Now was the only odds-on chance of the day and she made no mistake in the Bill Hanlon Memorial Fillies Maiden at the Curragh.

Ridden by Ryan Moore for Aidan O'Brien, the 1/5 favourite drew clear from over a furlong out to beat Jessica Harrington's 9/1 chance Sounds Great by three and three-parts of a length with the Gavin Cromwell-trained Loosen And Limber only a nose away in third place.

“She had a lovely run here on her seasonal debut and then for whatever reason it just didn't happen for her in Killarney,” said stable representative Chris Armstrong.

“Obviously if she could reproduce what she did here the first day she'd be hard to beat.

“It's an important bracket to get for her, with her pedigree, and we'll try and get her a bit of black-type before the end of the season.

“She might come back here for the Finale Stakes or there are a couple of options in England.”
