Michael Halford´s Invincible Ash landed the opening Castlepark Stud Maiden at Tipperary this evening.

Ridden by Johnny Murtagh, the daughter of Invincible Spirit raced prominently before moving to the front under two furlongs out before staying on well for an easy two and a half lengths win over Babel

Halford later reported "Invincible Ash has plenty of paceand five or six furlongs is her trip. we´ll go handicapping with her now and she has the scope to improve further."
