Progressive Byron continues on upward curve

Gordon Lord Byron looked a sprinter set for better things when running out an impressive winner at Cork last night.

Tom Hogan’s gelding is blossoming this season and followed up a handicap victory at Tipperary last week in the six furlong conditions event.

Fran Berry’s mount cruised into lead under two furlongs out as front-running 11/10 favourite Croisultan faded tamely.
