Nell Gwyn makes amends in fine style

AIDAN O’BRIEN’S Nell Gwyn, a poor fifth of seven behind Four Sins at the Curragh on her debut Curragh, but a full-sister to Rock Of Gibraltar, was all the rage for the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden at the first stage of the Tralee Festival last evening and duly obliged.

On offer in the morning as high as 11-4, the daughter of Danehill was returned the 6-4 favourite.

Kieren Fallon pushed her ahead inside the furlong pole and she eased clear to beat the dead-heaters Potion and Lady Shanghai.
