Elltaaf got the better of her two rivals in the Tipperary Maiden, scoring on her debut for Paddy Twomey.

Third on her sole start for Saeed Bin Suroor at Chelmsford last October, the daughter of Invincible Spirit was then purchased for 45,000 guineas at Tattersalls in February.

Sent off the 8/13 favourite, from 9/10 on-course, she made all under Connor King, and was ridden over a furlong out, keeping on well inside the final furlong to score by two lengths. Snoozing Indian (11/8) finished second under Billy Lee for Thomond O'Mara, while Desert Mix was twelve lengths back in last.

Avealittlepatience (coughing) and From Eden (change in going) were both taken out of the race earlier, while Dawn Singer was withdrawn at the start after refusing to load.

Paddy Twomey said afterwards: "I'm delighted and she won it the way I thought she might.

"She is a well bred filly who has now won her maiden and I've nothing in mind. Ennistown Stud own her."
