On his third run in eight days, Bangalore Gold supplemented his gains from Roscommon on Sunday by reverting to handicap company to land the Sandyford Handicap by a comprehensive four lengths.

This fellow had been a shade unlucky when runner-up at Fairyhouse just over a week back before putting the record straight four days ago in a maiden when well-punted. He got raised 12Ibs for that but racing here with just the mandatory 5Ibs penalty he showed himself to be a most progressive sort under champion apprentice, Emmett McNamara.

Successful trainer, David Myerscough said: "We plan to give him a bit of a break now as he has had a few runs in quick succession. I'm considering the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh on Derby Day and if that comes a bit soon there is the seven furlong handicap at Galway."
