Together Forever who was third in a Listed contest last-time out, was a warm order for the opening juvenile fillies’ maiden over a mile at Gowran Park and duly bolted up.

Aidan O’Brien’s Galileo filly broke well from stall 16 before tacking across and being settled in third by Joseph O’Brien.

The 8/13 favourite raced on the outer as Queenlet and Sarah Joyce dictated matters from the front. As the field flashed past the three pole O’Brien brought her on terms with those two rivals. With over two furlongs to go she assumed the lead in her own right and soon went clear.

Jockey O’Brien could afford a look around inside the final furlong and he must have been delighted to see the five-length gap back to Rivers Of Babylon the second-placed horse at 25/1. Sarah Joyce kept on for third at 12/1.

Aidan O’Brien said: “I'm delighted with that. Obviously she had good form. Joseph was happy with her and said it suited holding on to her a little bit. We won't overdo her. If the ground stays good she might run again but if it doesn't she'll be left off.”

Together Forever holds an entry in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She was third to Jack Naylor in a Curragh Listed race and prior to that was runner-up to the exciting Found also at the Curragh.
