On October 8 2018, two litter sisters contested a 525 yard sales trial at Thurles. It was won by eight lengths by Stardom from Savana Winner. Four months later Heather Dimmock’s 6-4f franked the form with a narrow victory in the £17,500 Ladbrokes Golden Jacket.
It proved to be a two runner buckle between the innermost pair with Towcester Story taking the early lead . . .

The Irish raider was never able to open up clear ground over his pursuer who closed up on the run-in to win by a head in the fastest time of the year to date, 45.27. The fawn remains unbeaten in her four UK races to date.
