The daughter of Rip Van Winkle had previously won two flat races and a charity race and today bagged her fourth career race, when scoring a five lengths success over Persian Wind

Geraghty, who won the 2006 Troytown Chase for the same owners on the Tom Taaffe trained Cane Brake, today said "she did that well and she could be better over further.”
