Dunum campaign revolves around Galway Dunum’s 2026 campaign will be geared towards a return to Galway in the summer. The Ivawood gelding landed a big pot for Natalia Lupini and owner Maurice Burns when taking the Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap at Ballybrit last July. He also finished a fine third in the Ahonoora Handicap on the final day of the week-long festival. Slow build-up for Ballybrit specialist The now eight-year-old is back in training ahead of this campaign and assistant trainer Craig Bryson said: "Dunum is back in, he had a good long break over the winter and we will just tip away with him nice and slowly. "He's good and he is looking well, he's cantering away again. "Obviously, we will be keeping an eye on Galway all along, he's a better horse there. He's getting on a bit now, so we will pick and choose our races. "I'd say we will want to keep him on easy ground at this stage. At the minute, we will have no problem with that! "We'll start him off early and he could be one for a Curragh premier handicap, if the ground is easy." (Michael Graham)
