The Right One began her three-year-old campaign with a victory in the WillWeGo Handicap over the flying five furlongs for trainer Jarlath Fahey.

The 9/1 chance was always prominent and was positioned in second at the halfway stage. Scott McCullagh brought her to challenge over a furlong out. She hit the front in the closing stages and went on by three-quarters of a length. Mini Cotai finished second at 4/1 and was a head in front of Gonna Be Golden (5/1).

McCullagh said: "The horses are in form and a nice ride to pick up. Very straightforward.

"We were a little bit worried about the ground beforehand but, to be fair, she got through it. It is quite loose, it is soft. She got through it well.

"It is nice to get a winner. It is hard to get winners in Ireland. Things are going well and hopefully we can keep going.

"She had plenty of experience as a two-year-old, she was put to work. She did well over the winter break and first run back obviously this year, headgear and fresh and got two lengths out of the gates so it was like a bit of work. Coasted down over the road and, to be fair, she responded to the stick. She got to the line good.

"100 per cent (win again), I think she has switched on a lot from two to three so hopefully there is more improvement."
