She's Our Mark goes up a gear to win

She's Our Mark (5-1) got back on the winning trail to end a frustrating run of four seconds when landing the Group Three Desmond Stakes.

Recording her third success of the season, Pat Flynn’s filly came strong in the final furlong to beat Eastern Appeal by half a length in the hands of Danny Grant.

The Prendergast-trained Haatef, the 13-8 favourite, was only third.

Flynn said: “She’s a fantastic, unreal filly. I told the owners a long time ago that she’s one of the best fillies I’ve ever trained. We decided to hold her up today and let the others do the running.

“We decided to avoid Goodwood as she was heavily in season and she will next go for the Matron Stakes (at Leopardstown on September 8).”
