"She broke smart and travelled easy, and had her race won at the furlong marker and just had a little look then. She's a nice filly," said Donnacha O'Brien after winning the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race) at Leopardstown on Easter Lily

Fourth when favourite behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner and stable companion September in a track and trip maiden five weeks ago, here as the 2/1 market-leader Ballydoyle's Easter Lily accounted for Adaliya by a length and three parts. Active Approach was an eye-catcher for Godolphin and Jim Bolger back in third.

"She quickened well and just idled a bit in front. She's a little bit on it at home but feels like a filly that will stay a mile this year if she relaxes. If she does things right I think she will be a lovely filly," elaborated the winning rider.

"The ground is safe but quick at the same time."

K.J. Manning, rider of Active Approach (GB), trained by J. S. Bolger, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran very green.

C. O'Donoghue, rider of Lovely Morning trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran very green.
