Angel Chorus swept through under Sara O’Brien to run out the ready victor of the mares bumper in Listowel.

There was two and a half lengths in it at the end of two miles, but when she found the gap just over a furlong out, after suffering some buffeting, the four-year-old filly by Dylan Thomas quickened away nicely.

Champion flat trainer Aidan O’Brien commented: “That was great. It got a little bit tight out there, but she travelled well and got through the gap. It’s a lovely place to get a winner.

“She had a good run the last day and she’ll probably go for a winners’ bumper next and has the option of running on the flat. She could go jumping for someone at some stage.”

Angel Chorus gave her supporters a 4/1 return. Rock High Lady at 12s came in second with 5/2 favourite Loch Ard Lady third, beaten three lengths by the winner.
