She got splits up the inside as the field turned for home and once through and in the clear she came right away. She was eased in the closing stages and was value for more than the winning margin.
Tom Dascombe, who believed she was well handicapped beforehand, is eyeing a Listed race in France for her and her value will increase significantly if she can gain some black type as her half-brother, Ans Bach, has won a Listed race since she was bought.
Fongs Gazelle got an easy lead but she couldn't sustain her run and she was readily brushed aside by the front two.
Folly Lodge spoiled her chance by racingtoo keenly on her first try over this trip but she plugged on well enough to suggest it's not beyond her.
Cape Velvet travelled well and got the splits but found disappointingly little in the straight.
