Art Pops up at 25/1 Pop Art flew home to spring a 25/1 shock in the fillies maiden at Naas for Charles O'Brien. Moth was sent off 5/4 favourite in the six-furlong juvenile contest and hit the front with over two furlongs to run. She couldn't hold the charge of debutante Pop Art, however, who stormed home inside the final furlong to land the spoils under Shane Foley. She posted a length-and-a-quarter success with Slope staying on to claim the runner-up spot ahead of the market leader. "They played into our hands a bit as they went crazy up front," said O'Brien afterwards. "She's a nice filly but I thought she'd need the run as most of mine do. The ability to handle the ground was crucial and she does. "It's very unlikely she'll run again this year. She wouldn't get much further - I'd say a mile maximum. "She's a big filly and should progress over the winter."
