GER LYONS' Voliere improved plenty from her debut at Cork to easily win the Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Fillies Maiden at Clonmel last night.

She was soon in front for Johnny Murtagh and was always in charge up the straight, despite a tendency to drift towards the stands side.

Commented Lyons: “We always thought she wanted to go further, but Johnny says she has loads of class and will have no trouble dropping back to a mile.
