Ladies Well springs 33/1 surprise at Killarney

Ladies Well sprang a 33/1 surprise at Killarney on Friday, landing the 16:17 Europe Hotel And Resort Handicap Chase (0-100, Div 1) over an extended 2m 7f under Cian Quirke. Ridden towards the rear early and 11th at halfway, the mare made smooth headway to fourth before three out, was slightly hampered at that fence, but kept coming — disputing the lead two out, asserting before the last and keeping on well to score by five lengths from Mobile Mamma, with Love Like This eight and a half lengths back in third. A fine training performance to have a 33/1 shot primed over fences — and another winner in a red-hot summer for the yard.
