Revoke creates a good impression on debut
Revoke opens up in Naas

There was plenty to like about Revoke s winning debut for Ger Lyons in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden over an extended five furlongs at Naas.
The Blue Point filly, owned by Juddmonte, raced prominently and took a tow off the leader Oxford Rock inside the final quarter of a mile.
Colin Keane sent her on approaching the final furlong and she began to stretch clear at the business end. The 11/10 favourite was far from troubled in hitting the line with almost five lengths in hand. Say Yes To Dreams came home for second at 12/1 and was a length in front of 9/2 Oxford Rock.
Lyons said: “Colin said she’s done what we said she’d do at home which is lovely.
“That’s her first time away and her first time galloping on turf. We do that as I’m adamant I don’t care if they are beaten first time out as they get a second bite, and then we know where we can go with them.
“We won’t shy away with her, from what we can get at two, and heading for black-type as she’s quick.
"We’ll just see how she takes this as there is nothing of her and she’s only a 410 kilos filly. She’ll either come forward from this or she’ll go back so she’ll tell me what to do.
“Worst case scenario she’ll be in Dundalk for the Mercury or something like that.”
