Endless Sunshine was friendless in the market, but it didn't prevent her making a winning debut in the median auction fillies' maiden at Navan.

The Churchill filly, who has plenty of winners in her pedigree, did her best work in the closing stages of this 1m2f contest.

She stayed on well to catch an all-out Letiza in the final strides and won by a head at 14/1 having been 5/1 in the morning.

Runner-up Letiza went off 2/1 favourite and was a short head in front of Expelliarmus (5/1 from 16s).

Jockey Nathan Crosse said: "A very good effort, the Harrington team have her in great order. She was fit and ready there today.

"I was just a bit green and behind the bridle early, I had to help her but as soon as the penny dropped with her, just coming up the hill, she was good and game the whole way to the line.

"She was very good and she'll get further which would have helped coming up that hill today.

"Onwards and upwards for her now."
