Willie McCreery 's charge got the better of her fellow County Kildare hope, Jenniechild by a length and a half, after outsider Nora Batt had set the race up nicely for the main protagonists from the front.

"She has now won over five, six and seven (furlongs) - I wasn't going to run as I thought five wasn't her trip her but at ten to twelve on Tuesday morning there were only ten or eleven entries, and I'd a look to see what I had and put her in it," explained McCreery.

"Another three came out today which made it all the better.

"She did it well and we won't throw her into the deep end yet, and we'll keep her to six and with a bit of ease in the ground.

"She won't run against four year olds yet and she might get an easy few weeks now after having had a few quick races."
