Content takes opener for O'Brien and Heffernan

Aidan O'Brien's Content got off the mark at the third time of asking in the opening juvenile fillies' maiden at Leopardstown.

Seamie Heffernan worked her into an early lead in this seven-furlong assignment and she was ridden on the run to the final furlong to fend off Apricot Ice and Hannah Buckle

Content (6/4 favourite) found plenty along the rail to beat the promising Apricot Ice (7/1 - 4/1) by a length and a-quarter. Hannah Buckle was another two lengths away in third at 18/1.

“She ran a lovely race here the first day but she was too lit up at Ascot and didn't finish,” said Heffernan.

“She's very honest, all she wants to do is jump and run hard. I was impressed with her and I think she has a lot of strengthening up to do.

“She'll get a bit further in time but at the moment six or seven is fine, a mile might stretch her.”

Paddy Power shaved Content from 16/1 to 14/1 for the Fillies Mile.
