Harry's has options after cosy success

Harry's Bar was the second odds-on shot to collect in comfortable fashion at Dundalk this afternoon when he landed the six-furlong conditions race.

125/1 outsider Surviving Murmansk took them along but was picked off by the 8/11 favourite over a furlong from home.

The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding soon settled matters, under Cian MacRedmond, going on to record a length-and-three-quarters win over San Andreas

Harry's Bar won the same race in 2021 and could now be set for a trip to the Middle East.

McGuinness said: "He's a brilliant horse, a great horse to have.

"We have him down to go away to Saudi - he is first reserve and I don't know whether he is going to get in.

"We did enter him up in the sprints out in Dubai on the Super Saturday out there. He has the all-weather championships (in Britain) as well.

"Personally, I would rather go to Lingfield than Newcastle. The Lingfield track suits him around a bend, I think he is a far better horse around a bend.

"The horse (Real Appeal) went to Qatar today and we are heading out on Tuesday, looking forward to it."
