Jet Setting made all for a cosy victory in the fillies maiden at Cork, on her first start on Irish soil.

The English import had shown some smart form as a juvenile and had been third in Listed company in France on her first start for Adrian Keatley last November.

Shane Foley bounced out in front on the 2/1 favourite and she asserted in the straight as Creme De La tried to throw down a challenge.

The daughter of Fast Company always looked in control as she recorded a two-and-a-quarter length success in the extended mile contest.

"We picked her up at a horses in training sale last year and she was a good third in a Listed race in France,” said Keatley.

“She was unlucky not to have been second and if she'd been second, would have been unlucky not to get it in the stewards' room.

"She had been doing everything right so far and we'll go for the Guineas Trial at Leopardstown next and we'll work from there.

"The Equinegrowthpartners Syndicate is an English based syndicate and I'm very glad to have them on board.

“I've 30 plus horses in for the summer and have recently moved to a new facility on the Curragh."
