Princess Child wears the crown at Galway
Since joining Joseph O'Brien she was more than paid her way, finishing second in four Listed races.
However, this was the first time her handler had run her in a handicap since her first start for new connections in June 2024 and she was sent off 5-1 to gain a first win in Ireland.
Gleneagle Bay made a bold bid for home but Dylan Browne McMonagle brought Princess Child with a powerful run and she went on to win by a length and a quarter with Colm Quinn Mile winner Dunum back in third.
'She had a good run here the last day. She was very unlucky and just didn't get the rub of the green until the straight,' said the winning rider.
'She's had a couple of days to freshen up again and was bouncing around the parade ring and felt great going to post.
'The pace was good and even for me to aim at, and she quickened up good to win well. She seemed to get through the ground well.
'You need plenty of luck when you are drawn in there (stall six) but I definitely had a willing partner.
'She's a very consistent filly and seems to grow a leg on this ground. She likes it around here and always runs a good race here. Hopefully she can progress into stakes company again and get her head in front.'

Argentine Tango booked for Lowther Stakes bid
The Mattmu filly has kept on improving all season, winning a Listed race at Newmarket before finishing third to Venetian Sun in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes. Last week at Goodwood she found only the Ger Lyons-trained Lady Iman too good in the Molecomb Stakes over five furlongs and will step back up to six at York for the Great Habton trainer. 'She's come out of Goodwood really well. She's tough, she must be because she's had seven races now and keeps coming back for more,' said Easterby. 'You get racehorses every now and again who just want to gallop and she is one of them. 'She'll go back up to six furlongs now, she definitely runs in the Lowther next and she won't be without a chance. 'She's been a bit of a star for us already this season.'
