Coolmore's first-season sire Ten Sovereigns (Ire) (by No Nay Never) was the latest freshman off the blocks on Tuesday as the Ballydoyle newcomer Brighter (Fr) duelled to success in Dundalk's five-furlong Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden. Sent off the 13-8 second favourite behind the 11-8 choice Vanity Pays (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), the €110,000 Arqana Deauville October purchase who is a half to the listed scorer Charm Appeal (Fr) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) was swiftly away under Ryan Moore and on the flanks of the leader Love Ya (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}). Left in front as that rival veered towards the far rail after turning for home, the bay battled tenaciously to ward off the Twomey runner Vanity Pays by a head, surviving an inquiry having brushed her inside the last furlong.
Ten Sovereigns off to a flying start!
