Drish Venture wins under Ben Coen© Photo Healy Racing
A course winner here 58 days back Drish Venture (2/1 joint favourite) followed up in the DundalkStadium.com Rated Race.
The drop to five furlongs proved no issue for Donal Commins’ Mehmas gelding as he was soon up there dictating to his five rivals.
The likes of eventual second and third placers Zen Silence and Harry’s Hill tried hard inside the final couple of furlongs.
Drish Venture was too good though, crossing the line with a length and a quarter and half a length to spare.
“He's done it very well again today. Ben (Coen, winning jockey) thinks he wants five furlongs on the grass but maybe six furlongs here,” said Commins.
“We have him for sale as we don't normally race horses, we are sellers.
“My father Donal lives for this horse at home as does my son Paul who does everything with him.
“For a small stable this is unreal. We are trying to sell the horse and had him advertised in the Racing Post.
“If somebody wants to buy him he's there for sale but if not we'll have a look at what's coming up for him. He'll be a nice horse on the grass.”
