Supposedtobe claimed at Gowran Park back in May, gave connections a return on their investment when taking the Coast To Curragh Cycle Claiming Race at Roscommon.
Seamie Heffernan sent the well-backed 4/1 (from 6’s) chance to the front inside the final quarter mile and he kept on well inside the final furlong for a-length-and-three-quarters verdict over 5/2 favourite Bringbackmemories Elusive Gigolo kept on into third a further length-and-a-half adrift.
Winning trainer Gavin Cromwell said, “We had him in at a modest claim and rode him good and positive. He’s probably got first run on the others and it’s nice to win a race with him.
“He was claimed for six grand and is getting that in prizemoney. We’ll stick in a friendly claim and see what happens.
“Feidhlim Cunningham is part of the syndicate and they have always had a horse with me.”
The winner was claimed for €6,000 by the Premier Racing Club to be trained by Denis Hogan.
Bringbackmemories (20,000) to be trained by John McConnell, Elusive Gigolo (5,000) by James McAuley and eighth-placed Prince Of Verona 10,000 to Noel Meade, were also claimed.
