This maiden has thrown up some useful performers, including the 2004 G1 1000 Guineas third Hathrah (Ire) and in Sense of Joy it could have unearthed another potential Classic contender. Always traveling strongly out wide behind the early leaders, the 6-1 second choice loomed on the front end approaching the eighth pole with Richard Hughes still motionless. Let loose soon after, the homebred opened up under a hand ride to secure an impressive five-length success from Presbyterian Nun (Ire) (Daylami {Ire}). The winner is a half to Day Flight (GB) (Sadler's Wells), MGSW-Eng, GSP-Ger, $467,067. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £4,533.
