Morgan takes Cork opener
The opening Cheestrings EBF Auction Maiden at Cork today went to the Joanna Morgan trained En Un Clin D'oeil (12/1 - 7/1), who made a winning debut under Pat Smullen.
The son of Chineur raced prominently throughout before moving through to lead over a furlong out, before battling well to hold the challenge of Ashton Lane by a head.
Morgan was not present to witness the success.

Costello's eye for potential stars saw him pass The Thinker (Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in 1987), Cool Ground ('92), Imperial Call ('96), Cool Dawn ('98), Best Mate (2002,3,4) and Champion Chase winner One Man through his hands.
Tom Costello is survived by his wife Josephine and five sons John, Tom, Adrian, Dermot and Tony.
