Three Swallowsnick shows plenty of promise

Three Swallowsnick arrived at Wexford with a lofty reputation and she enhanced it with an easy victory in the mares' bumper.

The five-year-old was appearing on a racecourse for the first time after comfortably winning two point-to-points in December and February.

Jamie Codd sent the 4/6 favourite on from front-running Bridge Native with under three furlongs to go.

He didn't have to get serious with her as she galloped on towards the line. Sweet Shirleen (6/1) tried to follow her but could never get on terms and went down by three lengths.

Jamie Codd said: "She is a very smart filly. She won two point-to-points for a local lad called Ivan Walker. Gigginstown got her then at the sales and Gordon just has her the last few months. She is a real tough, honest, little filly and she will win plenty of races."

This win gave Elliott and Gigginstown a double at Wexford (Bull Ride took race three) and an across-the-card treble courtesy of Potters Point in Galway.
