Catch The Eye steps up in class with minimum of fuss

CATCH THE EYE, who won her maiden at the Galway festival, made the step up in class with the minimum of fuss in the Seamus Weldon www.mowers.ie Race at the concluding stage of Killarney last night.

Puttore, fresh from an easy success at the Curragh last Saturday, was preferred to Catch The Eye in the market and looked the most likely winner early in the straight.

Approaching the furlong pole, however, it was clear Pat Smullen had Puttore covered and he only had to push out Catch The Eye to score by two lengths. Said Smullen: “She appreciated the ease in the ground and is progressing along just fine.”
