Astonish Leaves Them Cold Astonish's only previous success was in a Tipperary maiden over the minimum trip but on outing number ten she took the step-up in distance to a mile in her stride in the Irish Mirror Handicap. Wayne Lordan elected to make all on the daughter of Cape Cross and the result wasn't in much doubt from a quarter of a mile out as she beat Zhukhov by a comfortable four lengths. David Wachman trains the four-year-old for Mrs.John Magnier and the half-sister to Grecian Dancer is likely to go for something similar.
