A lot of confidence can be taken from the performance that Auntie Lacey produced to win at Toomebridge as the form has already received significant form boosts. Stepping forward from her debut in Castlelands in the spring, the Getaway mare who is out of a half-sister to the Grade 1-winning Conflated, easily reeled-in and overhauled the pacesetter along the back straight, and from there she was always in command as her rider Barry O’Neill never had to ask her a serious question in order to run out an easy two and a quarter length winner. It has not taken long for the form to be franked. The runner-up won at Umma House by nine lengths on her next start, whilst the fourth horse also won on her next start, with that success coming at Loughanmore. That has to leave Auntie Lacey as a very interesting proposition at the sale.
