Aidan O'Brien's Dramatically showed improvement to get off the mark in the juvenile fillies' maiden over six furlongs at Naas.

The daughter of War Front raced off the pace in the early stages before taking closer order after halfway.

She delivered her challenge inside the two pole and soon hit the front under Donnacha O'Brien.

She was kept up to her work and drew two and a quarter lengths clear at the line at 4/1. Betsey Trotter at 9/2 and Encantador (14/1) completed the placings in second and third respectively.

"I was actually very happy with her first run when she was just very green,” Donnacha O'Brien said.

“She wasn't really facing the kickback there when I got back a bit. She'd prefer nicer ground but that was a nice performance.”

Dramatically finished 11th of 14 on debut in Dundalk at the end of September.
