Young trainer Daniel McLoughlin has a promising sort on his hands in the shape of Magny Cours, debut winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies’ Maiden, the second race on yesterday’s Flat card at a busy Listowel racecourse.

Clearly, the filly had been showing the right signs at home as the market spoke favourably, and when some grit was required, she showed she also possesses that. Luna Mia threw down a challenge in the straight but Ben Coen got a great response from Magny Cours and they shaded the verdict.
