Monkstown point-to-point winner The Moon Sea’s Me made a winning racecourse debut in the Kilmore Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel but it took all of Sam Ewing’s strength to get the Gordon Elliott-trained mare home in front over the two-mile distance, a trip clearly considerably short of what she needs.
Under pressure early and for much of the race, she responded remarkably well to collar favourite The Folkes Tiara in the dying strides.
