Global Energy (15/2) became the fifth horse on the Curragh card to make all when landing the Ryans Cleaning Handicap under Robbie Colgan.

The Showcasing gelding got into a good rhythm in front and had enough in reserve to see off Everylittlestep by half a length.

“I'm delighted. He had a little problem, we solved it, and he's just got better and better,” said Sheila Lavery who trains the five-year-old for her brother John.  

“I have to thank Ted Durcan because, even though he's won over a mile-four and a mile-two, he just reckoned he wasn't staying and to drop him back to a mile. I did and he just loved it out there. 

“Robbie said he wasn't going to let anyone by him, that he was just having a ball up front. 

“I put him in the Hunt Cup at Ascot, John loves having runners there. He was too low in the handicap, I don't know what he'll get for this and I don't know if he'll get enough to squeak in. 

“That opens up loads of options though.”
