- Mullins eyes hurdling campaign for Court Maid

Mullins eyes hurdling campaign for Court Maid

Court Maid saw off Good Scent to land the mares' bumper in Galway for Tom Mullins and Finny Magure. Wait For No One led a driven-along Court Maid into the straight With Good Scent hot on their heels.
Wait For No One cracked and was headed a furlong out as Court Maid and Good Scent raced by.
It was Court Maid (7/1) who just found enough to repel a rallying Good Scent (4/1) by a neck at the line. Miss Chevious Girl was well supported from 2/1 to 13/8 favourite but could make no impression on the principals in third, nine lengths away.
Tom Mullins said: "I always thought a good bit of her but it took a while to get her to this point. She was third at Gowran first-time out and took a while to get over that but is a lot stronger now in the last couple of months and has really come on stream.
"She is a well-bred filly and I doubt she'll go for a winners' bumper as I can't wait to get her hurdling. I think she's decent and now she's done the first bit."
