Shavasi seals 145/1 treble for Browne McMonagle
Shavasi readily asserts from her rivals

The William Hill Irish EBF Fillies Handicap in Punchestown was all about Shavasi and Dylan Browne McMonagle who plundered a treble on the 11/4 shot.
Joseph O'Brien's Shavasi tanked along at the head of affairs with three furlongs to go and rounded the bend well to straighten for home. She asserted inside the two pole and had the race won entering the final furlong.
Browne McMonagle kept her rolling to strike by two and three-quarter lengths from Presence (7/4f) who kept on again the closing stages.
"It's been a great day. Things are going really well and long may it last,” said Browne McMonagle.
“This filly won really well. She jumped well, travelled strongly and quickened up well around the turn. She was strong at the line.
“We always thought plenty of her. A little ease in the ground today was perfect for her and the trip was good as well.
“I think she's still learning and she'll be a better filly next year when she strengthens up into herself.
“The form from her last run was very solid so, if she brought that run here, she was always going to be very hard to beat.”
This brought up a double for Joseph O'Brien who supplied Brown McMonagle's first winner on the card in the shape of Amangani (100/30). The jockey also scored on Proleek Prince (8/1) for Michael Rice.
