Deas has Ascot plan Brog Deas completed his hat-trick with a convincing success in the 1m1f handicap at Tipperary. There was a difference of opinion from riders turning for home as the field spread across the track but Danny Grant stayed in the centre on the 9/2 shot. He took over from 10/3 favourite Hail under two furlongs out and was in command going into the final furlong. The Pat Flynn-trained Arakan gelding galloped on strongly to post a three-length success over Danequest. The winner was making it a quick hat-trick, having recorded successes at Gowran Park and Dundalk last month. "I'm delighted. He's a very very nice horse," said Flynn afterwards. "I've a nice plan for him althought it might be a bit ambitious. I'm thinking of bringing him over for the mile Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot. "He'll probably get into the race now." (GC & TW)
