Strath Gallant looks good for openers

DERMOT WELD is setting a blistering pace at the top of the trainers’ table, well clear at the moment with an impressive 16 winners for the season.

He is fancied to add to the tally with the once-raced Strath Gallant in the opening Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Clonmel this evening.

The son of Alhaarth made a promising start at Leopardstown last month when finishing two lengths second to the experienced Mon Michel.
