The Joseph O'Brien trained Rockfish put himself forward as a possible contender for juvenile hurdling later in the summer, having gained his second career win under jockey Donnacha O'Brien in the 1m2f Summer BBQ July 13th Handicap at Cork today.

Carrying the colours of bookmaker Justin Carthy, the son of Fast Company followed up a Dundalk win last month with his second success today when beating Stormy Tale by a length and a quarter.

Afterwards O'Brien said "he is stepping up with each run and he won off 51 tonight and in that grade he'll be able to be competitive. A mile and a quarter is a nice trip for him and he'll go hurdling later in the year.

"He ran on bad ground a few times but didn't perform on it so needs that good ground."
