Fourth in a hot Curragh juvenile maiden on her only start for Ken Condon, Thalara (5/1) overcame a layoff of 630 days to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Billy Lee brought the daughter of Awtaad from mid-division to lead inside the final furlong and she kept on well to account for Daboya by a length and a half.
Marianne Klay's homebred four-year-old is now under the care of Henry de Bromhead who said: “She's a nice filly, I'm delighted for Marianne and Des (Leadon) who very kindly sent her down."
“It was her first run for a while and Billy said she was a bit fresh but she ran on really well in the end.
“I'm delighted with her, she's probably still a bit green as well but she's a lovely filly and she has a great pedigree.
“We've no real plan, I'll speak to the guys and see what they'd like to do. We'll enjoy today anyway.”
