Princely Conn gets back in winning groove at Clonmel

The Barry Geraghty-ridden seven-year-old got the better of Fearachain by two and a quarter lengths to continue the successful run being enjoyed by owner JP McManus and trainer Tom Mullins, who said: “He’s back in business — I didn’t think when I brought him in last August or September that we’d have to wait until May for him to win.

Trainer Eamonn ‘Dusty’ Sheehy recorded his first success in three years when Gunner McGregor, ridden by Keith Cogley, bolted up in the bumper, stretching clear to beat Callyerman by six lengths.
