DONNACHA O’Brien’s first winner of the season arrived in style as the two-year-old newcomer Elliptic prompted thoughts of a trip to Royal Ascot with a display of some promise in the Yeomanstown Stud El Kabeir Irish EBF Fillies Maiden.

Another winner for the freshman sire Caravaggio and owned by the trainer’s mother Anne Marie, this homebred filly was sent off a well backed 3/1 favourite. Her supporters might have been looking on anxiously initially as she was a little slowly away and was lying some way off the early pace.
