Foxtrot Liv impresses under Lee for Twomey
Foxtrot Liv leads home her rivals under Billy Lee

Foxtrot Liv put in an impressive performance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Median Auction Maiden, coming home six lengths clear of her rivals under Billy Lee.
Fourth on her debut at Naas in June, the Paddy Twomey trained Foxwedge chestnut then just failed on her next start over the course last month.
Upped in trip to seven furlongs this afternoon, she was sent off the 6/4 favourite (from 15/8) in the colours of owner Emma Kennedy.
Settled behind the leaders, she travelled best from two furlongs out, and was soon sent to the front, powering clear inside the final furlong to register a facile success. Syrena (9/2) finished second under Donnacha O'Brien for his brother Joseph, while Royal Canford (33/1) ran on well to take third, another length back under Wayne Lordan for Willie McCreery.
Twomey said: "She is a very nice filly and I hope she'll progress. I said to her owners last week that if she wins on Monday I will be able to say it was great that she got chinned in the photo because she will have the experience.
"Now that she's done it, in hindsight the three runs is a help but she's done it all on natural ability. I was hoping she would do something like that.
"We have her in a couple of Stakes races and we’ll sit down and decide what to do. She has a very good temperament and she is very easy to have around."
