The Curragh plays host to Wednesday afternoon’s action and First Gentleman can take the opportunity to get off the mark when he contests the sixth race, the Murphy International Supporting Relay For Life Maiden.
Unraced at two, Jessica Harrington’s colt made his debut here in mid-April and, in finishing third behind Run Ran Run and one of today’s rivals, Desert Haven, he posted an effort full of promise. On the back of that he was sent off joint favourite for a maiden in Cork but had to settle for the same position, this time behind Two Stars and Roaming Star but just a touch in front of Desert Haven.
