Composing books Moyglare ticket with Debutante success

Group One assignments await Composing after she completed her hat-trick with a decisive victory in the Alpha Centauri Debutante Stakes at the Curragh.

Fifth on her debut here in May, the daughter of Wootton Bassett improved to open her account at the second time of asking before claiming Group Three honours in the Silver Flash at Leopardstown.

She was a 4-5 favourite to follow up in a Group Two contest trainer Aidan O’Brien had previously won on 14 occasions and odds-on backers will have had few concerns, with Composing tracking her chief market rival Suzie Songs before pulling two and a half lengths clear.

Having completed a big-race double on the card for O’Brien and jockey Wayne Lordan following Constitution River’s success in the Futurity, Composing is the 11-10 favourite from 2-1 for the Moyglare Stud Stakes with Paddy Power, who also make her a 10-1 shot for next year’s 1000 Guineas.

O’Brien said: “She’s a lovely filly and Wayne said when she got there, she thought it was over.

“She’s very straight forward and professional. We thought we’d have to make it and we were delighted that Ger’s filly went on.

“If everything is right, she’ll come back here for the Moyglare.

“She’s so laid back and is the same at home.”
