Swelter (GB)

Kingman filly Swelter made a winning debut at Leopardstown in July of her two-year-old season, winning with authority by a length and three-quarters over a mile.

She began her three-year-old season at the same track, this time winning the Gr.3 1000 Guineas Trial race against some smart opposition.

Trainer Dermot Weld commented: "I'd say it was a good renewal of the race, a very competitive Group 3. She won over a mile here last year and my concern was that seven might be a little too sharp for her."

"My reason for running her was that she would learn a lot from it and I thought she came home very nicely. We'll see how she comes out of the race, but my present thoughts would be to head for something like the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She is a filly that will hopefully get ten furlongs as the season progresses."

Her dam Hot Snap, won the Gr.3 Nell Gwyn Stakes and placed third in the Gr.1 Nassau Stakes. She has also produced the Listed-placed Vivienda and comes from the family of six-time Gr.1 winner Midday.
