Emily Roebling deservedly made the breakthrough over flights, as she just prevailed in the Tomcoole Farm Ltd Mares' Maiden Hurdle.

Trained by Ger Kelleher, the Getaway nine-year-old was placed 10-times from her previous 15 tries over the smaller obstacles.

Sent off a 10/3 chance this evening, she had a protracted tussle with Music Of Tara in the straight and just a short head separated the pair at the line.

The runner-up, who was returned the clear favourite at 1/2, was far from fluent at the second last and ultimately had to settle for minor honours under Rachael Blackmore.

The front pair went nine-and-a-half lengths clear of Nytol in third, with this Sam Curling trained five-year-old returned at 80/1.

"She is funny, she is a brilliant leaper but is very safe. She should win a chase," Kelleher said of the Seamus Kennedy owned victor.

"I thought we were bet again! She is owned by great people and it's great to reward them for the trust they have put in me. I'd love to get a bit of black type with her as her owners as breeders."
