Martello Park off the mark over flights

Smart bumper performer Martello Park broke her jumping duck on attempt number four over flights in the Promote Your Business At Fairyhouse In 2018 Mares Maiden Hurdle.

The 13/8 favourite 'missed' the second last but up the run-in she was still able to fend off the sweet-travelling Sassy Diva by two and a quarter lengths.

The free-going Redhotfillypeppers kept going well enough after a front-running effort to end up three lengths back in third.

Danny Mullins rode Martello Park for his mother Mag who said: "She deserved that and came back well from a little mistake. I think she'll get three miles, and hopefully she's good enough to go for a Listed race. She's real genuine and honest.

"It's great for the lads (G S Racing Club). There are about ten of them and they are all retired."
