Bossing It lives up to her name in Kilbeggan Bossing It got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in the qualified riders' maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan. The well punted 11/4 favourite (from 9/2) made good progress for Simon Cavanagh after two out and improved to lead narrowly over the last. She was good and strong on the run-in to go on by three and a-quarter lengths from 3/1 runner-up Cocovic with Rhythmic Tune (33/1 - 20/1) back in third. The winner was last seen finishing fifth in a mares' maiden hurdle at Punchestown in January. David O’Brien said: “Simon doesn’t ride for me that often, but I think he’s won four of the last five between point-to-points and the track. He said she got under the second last and she found plenty for him from the last. “She got boxed in for Rob James in a bumper at Cork and then she ran a lovely race in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. It was heavy ground and we decided to give her a break to strengthen her up a bit and it seems to have paid off. “It’s a nice family and the mother, Is Herself About, won four for us. "Simon said she handled the ground well, but I wouldn’t want to run her on anything quicker. Hopefully, she’ll strengthen more.” Additional reporting by Alan Magee
