Yehi scores in style

Nan Yehi opened her account in some style on her first start for Jessica Harrington at Ballinrobe this afternoon.

Shane Foley grabbed the lead on the well-backed Camelot filly, in the extended nine furlong maiden, and she kicked clear a furlong-and-a-half from home.

It was plain sailing thereafter as she went on to record a cosy five length success over the staying on Longbourn

The 13/8 favourite (9/2 in morning) had been placed on three occasions for Kevin Prendergast, most recently at Gowran last month.

"She's not with us that long and has only done two little half-speeds," said Foley.

"She came with a decent reputation though.

"It was the only thing (making the running) that the lads hadn't tried and it worked."
