Runner-up in both starts 'between the flags', Jasmine D'airy was a smooth winner of the Millennium Surveys Ltd (Mares) Pt-To-Pt INH Flat Race under Derek O'Connor.

The 2/1 joint-favourite led after a couple of furlongs and made the rest of the running to beat Klassical Corona by six lengths.

Winning trainer Sam Curling said: "She was a bit keen in her two point-to-points on soft or heavy ground but I'd say she is more of a two-mile mare. She will end up being a fairly good filly I'd say.

"Tom (Howley junior) and Timmy Hyde own her together and if she is kept, she will go for a winners' bumper but I'd say she will be sold."
