Having ridden winners for both Aidan and Donnacha O'Brien earlier on the card, Gavin Ryan teamed up with the latter to take the concluding Rent-A-Tent Marquee Fillies Maiden at Naas on Whispersinthewind
Fourth at Navan on her handicap debut last month, the Churchill filly put that experience to good use on her return to maiden company against her own sex.
Racing in mid division early on, Ryan moved closer on the inside to go second behind Finsceal Luas early in the straight.
Ridden to challenge two furlongs out, the 7/1 chance got the better of the favourite at the furlong marker, keeping on in resolute fashion to win by half-a-length.
Gavin Ryan (three winners from three rides) said: “She’s a filly that has been a little bit tricky but she’s always running consistent without getting the rub of the green.
“The race worked out perfect today. She was very good from the gates, we got a good lead through and we always thought she was well capable of winning her maiden so it’s good to get it done. Ground wise she is very versatile.
“It’s been a great day with a treble and I’m delighted.”
