Fluff appears one of Ballydoyle's quirky named individuals whose name may be remembered for some time, as the filly created a very favourable impression to win the E20 Family Ticket For May 17th Family Day Fillies Maiden on debut at Navan today.

Ridden by Seamie Heffernan, the daughter of Galileo brushed aside minor matters of a wide draw in ten and 15 other mostly more experienced rivals before sprinting clear inside the final furlong for an easy win over Natural Woman

Winning trainer Aidan O'Brien wasn't present but Heffernan later stated "Joseph (O'Brien) said she'd be hard to beat if she wasn't green. The odd one of ours is green but she wasn't.

"She has a great pedigree and couldn't have won any easier - it was easy."
