Mount Ida rounded off a treble on the day for Gordon Elliott, as she ran out an easy winner of the last at Wexford, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race.
Successful in a point-to-point for Jerry Cosgrave at Tattersalls in December, the daughter of Yeats was subsequently sold for 70,000 pounds.
She finished a good second to The Caddy Rose on her debut for current connections at Punchestown in February, and having opened at 5/2 on-course this evening, she eventually went off a well-backed 13/8 favourite.
Settled in mid-division, the bay victor made good headway to track the leaders from six furlongs out.
She came through to lead as they entered the straight, and soon went clear, keeping on well in the closing stages to score by seven lengths.
Declan Queally 's Uisce Solas (16s to 11s) was second, while Lady Loretto (8/1) was another three lengths back in third.
Codd said afterwards: "She is smart and is a half-sister to Sizing Tennessee. She won her point-to-point at Fairyhouse and had a good run the last day against The Caddy Rose where the trip was probably plenty far for her at this stage.
"She is a nice filly and Gordon should have plenty of fun with her."
Elliott was earlier successful at Aintree with Three Musketeers and Felix Desjy.
