Carlingford Lough |
 |
Mark Walsh was contemplating pulling up Carlingford Lough turning for home in the Irish Gold Cup but the 10-year-old came alive in the latter stages at Leopardstown.
The way in which he stayed on up the home straight to claim a second Grade 1 triumph suggests that this bigger test of stamina will be right up his street.
The prescence of Many Clouds and/or Don Poli in the race could see him avoid having to carry top-weight.
