The Kiaran McLaughlin-trained four-year-old, stepping up in trip, maintained the advantage after entering the straight when Sea Calisi came by.

Robillard, ridden by Kendrick Carmouche, kept on until being one-paced inside the final furlong, going down by four and three-quarter lengths to the winner whose time came to 2m 18.90s.

Kiaran McLaughlin commented: "Robillard ran very well in this Group Two.

"We were struggling to find the right race to start off this year for her but I was happy with the performance.

"The winner is obviously a very good filly."
