Romantic Proposal wins the Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital Woodlands Stakes in the hands of Chris Hayes. Healy Racing

A Group 1 winner last season, Romantic Proposal oozed class as she made a successful return to action in the listed Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital Woodlands Stakes in Naas.

Confidently handled by Chris Hayes, the six-year-old mare tracked speedy three-year-old Egocentric before coasting through inside the final furlong and, idling in front, had three-quarters of a length to spare over that rival at the line, with last year’s winner Mooneista in third.
