Expect Matt to shine in Gain 600 heats

Ballymac Matt can prove himself a perfect fit for the six-hundred-yard test at Shelbourne Park by making a winning start to his Gain 600 bid.

When he times his break right, the Liam Dowling-trained runner can be quite spectacular and the demands of this stake can bring about improvement in the impressive July pup.

It’s no easy introduction to what can be a particularly demanding distance, but likely market rival Greenwell Hulk, who was most impressive in winning this stake in 2014, took a nasty tumble on his comeback last week, and may be best watched for now.
