Notkeepinyagoing ground her rivals into the rain-sodden turf at Leopardstown as she made all in race two.

The 7/2 shot had all bar Magic Dawn off the bridle after two out in this 2m4f mares' maiden hurdle.

Magic Dawn attempted to reel her in on the approach to the last, however, Ben Harvey asked the leader for more and a good jump at the last saw her home.

Magic Dawn was hesitant there and the gap widened as Notkeepinyagoing sluiced up by 15 lengths from the 9/4 favourite. Slotty Dotty (11/1) was another couple of lengths back in third.

John McConnell said: “She deserves it as she's consistent.

“Although it's soft ground here today, it was just too soft in Tramore last time. Her form before that was pretty solid.

“Hopefully the handicapper doesn't take it too literally, it probably wasn't the greatest of maiden hurdles. She should be competitive off the mark she has now in a handicap or maybe a little winners' race somewhere.

“She doesn't owe them (Planetary Orbit Syndicate) anything as she's won a bumper in Galway and now a maiden hurdle here. She wasn't expensive.

“We'll keep going for another while. Now that she's got her head in front we'll have another crack at something.”
