JOSEPH O’Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle joined forces to record a double at the Curragh on Saturday. Galen brought up the double for O’Brien and McMonagle when making all to win the Tote.ie Alleged Stakes (Group 3). Carrying the colours of Barry Taylor, T G Fitzgerald, Paul H Redmond and Barry Fowler, the 6/1 chance stayed on strongly to win by two and a half lengths.

“He’s always been a good horse and he ran well in Dubai a few times, where he just didn’t get the rub of the green,” said O’Brien. “Dylan didn’t think there was much pace and was happy to go to the front.
