We're delighted to win that. She was second in it last year, probably to a better mare. You're on a hiding to nothing if you get beat, Michael (Deegan, owner) was brave enough to hold on to her for another year so it's great to get started. I wouldn't say any horse loves that ground but she got her way through it. Billy said she did everything wrong, she was a bit strong under him and didn't settle. He clipped heels trying to get her to settle and she still was pulling. She got there and then she got a bit lazy in front, she's getting a bit cute. Onwards and upwards now. She's been Group 1 placed and we'll aim for all the Group 1s for the year and that will be it. The Tattersalls Gold Cup is a possible. We'll see what way the ground is but I can't see why not. It's only driving down the road as opposed to going foreign. Things just didn't work out for her in Bahrain, she got shuffled back. William Buick rode a great race in front on his horse and just got pipped, he slowed it all down. She was coming and coming but everything happened too quickly. She had loads of room today and she's a proper mare. W McCreery, trainer

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident about two hundred yards from the finish involving Agartha, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, unplaced, and Angels Wrath, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, unplaced, where it appeared that Angels Wrath checked when trying to get through on the inside of Agartha who was holding the rails position

Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, J.A. Heffernan stated that he anticipated that Agartha might run off the rails and he lined up his own mount for a possible gap but it did not materialise. D.P

McDonogh stated that there was no room for anybody to come through on his inner. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action

J.A. Heffernan, rider of Angels Wrath, trained by J.P. Murtagh, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount had no luck in running

C.D. Hayes, rider of Star Girls Aalmal, trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount did not get a clear run in the closing stages of this race.
