All Lies Ahead showed promise last season and resumed her career by winning the extended seven furlong 50-80 handicap in Leopardstown by a neck.

She won her maiden at Killarney in May and finished runner-up in a higher grade when last in a Gowran Park handicap in June.

The 10/3 favourite won a final-furlong battle with Loingseoir who took plenty of credit in second at 9/2. The placings were completed by Majestic Colt (33/1) and Toriangel at 12/1 a further three lengths and a neck away in third and fourth respectively.

Willie McCreery said: "She's only learning her trade, she's raw and that's why I wanted to get her going.

“Dave Hyland bred her and I'm delighted for him. She's done nothing wrong on all her runs and I thought she was off a nice rating.

“We'll see what he (handicapper) does to her tomorrow, I might declare her for Saturday.”
