KISSED MAKES STRIKING NAVAN BOW

Kissed earned quotes for the Investec Oaks after winning on her debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Navan.

Stan James were sufficiently impressed to offer 16-1 about the three-parts sister to Pour Moi following in his hoofprints at Epsom next June - However Sky Bet go 20s.

Aidan O'Brien's charge was ridden by the trainer's son, Joseph, and the 6-4 favourite just had to be pushed out at the finish to beat Violet Lashes by a comfortable length and a half.

"I was a always happy with where I was in the race and she is a very nice filly," said the winning jockey.

"It's very testing conditions out there and there should be plenty of improvement in her from here."
