Kissable from the Kevin Prendergast stable justified her short price when taking the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden under Declan McDonogh.
McDonogh had to work hard aboard the 8/11 favourite from over a furlong out but the filly responded well to pressure to get up and lead close home and deny Palinode by a neck.
James Kelly racing manager to winning owner Lady O’Reilly said: “We’re delighted with that win.
"Declan [McDonogh] thought the ground might have been a shade quick for her but Leopardstown always do such a terrific job with the ground it’s always safe.”
“All going well she’ll run in the fillies Group 3 at the Curragh on July 14th and if that goes well then maybe the Moyglare Stakes. Declan says she rides like an Oaks filly.”
“Kevin [Prendergast] thinks the world of her she’s just a bit of a slow learner.”
