The five-year-old Lough Derg Rose has won both her starts to date impressively, and therefore heads to the sales with an unbeaten record. Trained by Denis Murphy, she was well fancied when getting off the mark on her debut at Loughanmore last March. Having raced in mid division, the daughter of Stowaway caught the eye travelling very well into the contest, before readily quickening clear. Following a summer’s break, she made a winning reappearance this season at Tinahely, when taking on a number of the new season’s most interesting winning mares. On this occasion she won with the minimum of fuss, after chasing the leaders for much of the contest before easing clear in the closing stages. With the form of her maiden already working out, this a very exciting prospect, as she looks to have plenty of pace for a bumper while her jumping will be a huge asset over obstacles in the future.
