VINTHEA, closely related to the great Vintage Crop, overcame a bad draw to land the McDonogh Handicap, under a super Timmy Houlihan drive, at Galway last night.

DERMOT WELD'S Mutakarrim is a reasonably confident choice to provide the solution to the 27-runner Albatros Feeds Maiden Hurdle at Galway tonight.
