Juddmonte's well-related Maire Rua (Frankel), a G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes entry, delivered an impressive debut performance for the Ger Lyoins stable and attained TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, status with a taking 2 1/2-length tally in Thursday's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Leopardstown.“She's a nice filly and, as Colin [Keane] says and we've said all along, if we have a good one at home it's her,” said Lyons. “First day away, I tend to get stall 14 of ten when I'm up here with a nice filly, but she's done it and there should be plenty of improvement on it. That's the first time she's ever been off the bridle with me. We'll bring her home and see how she comes out of it, but it's nice to win first time out. There's a new Listed in Cork on 14th August and that type of race we'll look at. Then you'd like to hope that she's going to keep doing that. The ultimate dream in Glenburnie is always to try and win a Moyglare. Hopefully if you win a Moyglare, you know you have one of the main characters for next years Classics and that's what the dream is. As I said, if we have a good one, it's her.”The 13-8 favourite was trapped wide in fifth early and eased forward into third after the opening exchanges of this unveiling. Coming under pressure rounding the home turn, she quickened stylishly to launch her bid approaching the final furlong and was ridden out to comfortably account for Bellesque (St Mark's Basilica) in impressive fashion.Maire Rua is the third foal and scorer produced by Listed Chelmer Fillies' Stakes victrix Red Impression (Dark Angel), herself the leading performer out of a winning half-sister to G1 Prix de la Foret heroine Etoile Montante (Miswaki).The winner is a full-sister to Group 3-winning G1 Pretty Polly Stakes third Red Letter and a weanling filly. She is also kin to a yearling colt by Blue Point.
