A winner at Cork in March and runner-up in a Grade 3 at the Punchestown festival when last seen in May, Mozzies Sister (15/8) took the Tayto Group Ltd Mares Flat Race under Ray Barron

Barron kept tabs on front-running Love At Sea and his mount headed that one over two furlongs out before being ridden clear to win by three-and-three-quarter lengths from the staying-on market leader Dippedinmoonlight  

The Arctic Cosmos five-year-old is owned by the For The Love Of It Syndicate.

Trainer Declan Queally commented: "She's a good filly, she works very well. Ihaven't ridden one like her in Curraghmore where we work the horses. We haveonly had maybe one or two or three like her. She's very decent. 

"We'll go to Gowran for the Listed Mucklemeg bumper. 

"We gave her a month out after Punchestown and I just said maybe a race before Gowran wouldn't be a bad thing, so it has worked out. 

"She was probably only maybe 85 per cent (fit) coming here, but she's a fair mare to gallop and she is great to have. 

"Brilliant for the syndicate. I think they are going to keep her.

 "If she runs well in Gowran, she would go hurdling this season. That would be her last run in bumpers and hopefully we can have a nice novice campaign. She's a very good jumper."
