Sublime Talent secured his place on the Rosewell House team for Galway later this month after winning the Irish Times Handicap at the Curragh this afternoon.

The 14/1 shot hit the front under a furlong out and dug deep for Pat Smullen close home to hold off the fast finishing Boxer Beat by a neck.

Dermot Weld said afterwards: “He will go for the four year old hurdle at Galway if he gets in in. He got a great ride from Pat and he battled well.”
