SHE was easily the most inexperienced member of the field and had yet to try her hand outside of maiden company but Is She Diesel was a resounding winner of the featured Monroe’s Live Mares Handicap Hurdle, justifying good market support throughout the day.

A first winner of the year for trainer Seamus Fahey, the five-year-old filled the runner-up spot on all three of her starts in maidens and she got into this race off an initial mark of 102. This meant that her relative inexperience was countered by a light weight and she produced a display that would have befitted a hardened campaigner.
