Offers come in for Boom The Groom David Marnane has revealed offers are under consideration for Boom The Groom following the youngster's most impressive racecourse debut at Fairyhouse on Sunday. The Kodiac colt made virtually every yard of the running under Pat Smullen in the six-furlong juvenile maiden, winning with plenty in hand as he passed the post a length and a quarter to the good over the experienced Colour Blue. Boom The Groom does not hold any entries at this stage and the first decision his connections need to make is whether to hold onto the exciting colt, or let him make a big-money move elsewhere. Marnane said: "I was impressed with how he did it on the day, but he's a developing horse and I'm in no rush with him. "He'd be showing us a lot at home and I was surprised how big a price (10/1) he was, to be honest. "He did it well and he's definitely not just an early two-year-old. I think he'll improve a lot for the run and even though he has plenty of pace, he should get further. "We have had a few offers for him since the race, so we'll mull those over and go from there." Meanwhile, Marnane is eyeing a tilt at the Ayr Gold Cup with Red Dubawi following his creditable run in defeat at Fairyhouse last Sunday. Following a winter stint in Dubai, the five-year-old ran well to finish third on his first three outings in Ireland, but was unable to make an impression in the Group Three Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh. He ran more encouragingly when fourth in last weekend's Belgrave Stakes and his trainer sees him an ideal candidate for the Ayr feature on September 21st, by which time ground conditions should be more to his liking. "I was very happy with how Red Dubawi ran. The ground was a bit quick for him, but considering that I thought he ran a solid race," said Marnane. "I'd love to have a live chance in the Ayr Gold Cup and I think he has the right profile for the race, so we'll look after him for a while and probably aim towards that. "He might have a prep run at the Curragh beforehand." Red Dubawi's stable companion, Nocturnal Affair, ran far more disappointingly in the Belgrave Stakes, trailing home last of seven. Marnane said: "Nocturnal Affair came back a bit sore, so we're going to give him some time and check him over before we make any plans."
