Smuggler’s Cove to take Trophy test

Recent Dundalk winner Smuggler’s Cove is set for a rise in class in the Racing Post Trophy later this month.

The Fastnet Rock colt has won both his starts since a fifth-placed finish on his debut, picking up Listed honours under the floodlights on Friday night in the Star Appeal Stakes over seven furlongs. Prior to that he had won a maiden at Listowel.
