Creation was all the rage for the mares' maiden hurdle in Tipperary and got the job done but was given quite a fright by Osco Mosco

Henry de Bromhead's five-year-old was making her first start for 222 days following placed efforts behind Mystic Theatre and Martello Park in bumpers in January and February respectively.

Before racing got under way, she hardened to 8/15 from a morning price of 11/8 and then went off 4/7f.

Bryan Cooper donned the Gigginstown silks and settled her in a close up third behind front-running Become Legend

She took closer order into second before the fourth last in this two mile contest and improved to lead narrowly at the penultimate flight.

The French bred took a couple of lengths out of the pursuers, chief of which was Osco Mosco, approaching the last as she went for home.

However, 7/2 shot Osco Mosco stayed on strongly on the run-in to draw alongside and it was only close home that Creation got up by a head. Rolanna (14/1) was three and three quarter lengths back in third.

Henry de Bromhead said: "She jumped well, stayed at it well and we'll see what to do now. Hopefully she will come on from the run.

"She had a nice run over hurdles in France and then had a couple of runs in bumpers for us where she ran well but hopefully this is her game.

"She loves jumping and might stay a bit further in time as well."
