There was an unmistakable promise to Um Wadi’s first start for Joseph O’Brien, and she can build on it by taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies’ Handicap, the sixth race on this afternoon’s card in Navan.

An eight-race maiden in her native France, she joined O’Brien this summer and was thrown in at the deep end for her stable debut.
