British raider Caspian Prince recorded his fifth victory this year, and ninth in total, when showing his usual blinding speed to take the five-furlong Dundalk Stadium Race. My Good Brother was the only one of his four rivals able to keep tabs with the Tony Carroll-trained gelding, and he asserted from the furlong pole.

The evens favourite kept on well under Luke Morris to beat Flight Risk who made up eye-catching ground in the closing stages to pip My Good Brother for the runner-up spot, by a length and a quarter.

Morris said, “He’s a lot of early boot. He won the Epsom Dash and has serious speed.

“When they asked me to come over earlier in the week I thought he’s a decent horse so it’s worth coming over for the one ride. He wants fast ground so it’ll be very ground dependent where he goes.”
