Timeless Tale, sent off at 14/1, won the Matchbook Exchange Irish EBF Fillies Maiden at Naas over 6f on good ground. She broke slowly but settled in a handy position in the middle of the track, moved up to lead approaching the 3f marker, then stretched clear entering the final furlong and stayed on strongly under pressure to score by eight and a half lengths. Film Set tracked the leaders, was driven forward approaching the 2f pole and kept on inside the last but could not close the gap on the winner. Pink Venom finished third.
