Heavy-ground specialist Rhythm King (5/1) notched a third career win today - and a second at Gowran Park, landing the opening Goresbridge Handicap for trainer Mark Fahey and jockey Gavin Ryan.

The Lennon-family owned three-year-old gained his initial success at today's corresponding fixture 363 days ago in 2022 and today beat runner-up Excusio Joe by two lengths.

Trainer Fahey said “he’s done it well and Gavin gave him a great ride. He really is a (ground) conditions-horse and shows his true form on heavy ground.

“He’s done that three times now and there might be something for him, maybe in Galway, before the end of the season as long as the rain keeps coming.”
