STEADY gallops were a feature of the action at Lingstown last Sunday where Grangeclare West (93+) suggested that he has all the talent to back up the €62,000 fee that his connections paid to secure him as a three-year-old.

All nine runners were covered by three lengths heading into the final half furlong, such was the tempo that was set, however the son of Presenting was always catching the eye and more than stamped his authority on the race, extending the advantage notably in the closing stages.
