Behan delivers on Tarkesar

WITH stable jockey Michael Kinane and his understudy Fran Berry on duty at the Royal Ascot meeting at York, Curragh trainer John Oxx relied on Jason Behan to deliver on Tarkesar in the Summerhill Maiden at Gowran Park last night.

And Behan duly obliged on the son of Desert Prince, making all the running and looking in command up the straight before justifying 11/10 favouritism at the expense of chief market rival Much Reality.

Earlier, Never Will, unraced since finishing down the field in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot last year, made a successful Irish debut in the Kilfane Handicap.
