Andy Slattery's Barrier trial winner Milliat graduated to the track in good style to take what looked a deep fillies' maiden over seven furlongs in Dundalk.

The 25/1 shot stayed on well in the final furlong for Andrew Slattery to beat 5/4 favourite Grand Job by half a length. Whispersinthewind (11/2) was a length and a-quarter further back in third.

Assistant trainer Brian Slattery said: "I was surprised that she was 25/1, she won her barrier trial on the bridle.

"We think she is high class and I'm not sure what will happen next - with the people that own her, she will probably be for sale but, if not, she will probably go for a Guineas Trial.

"It is all about next year with her. We like her and she is a very good filly. We will speak to the owners and I would imagine she is going to be highly desirable.

"She wants a mile all day. Andy (Slattery) would love to keep her, we think she is very smart."
