Sent off 3/10 favourite, Summer Is Tomorrow was an easy winner of the Tote-sponsored conditions race at Gowran Park, giving jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle a double after he guided Nil Bua Gan Dua to victory in the John Fleming Marble City Listed Stakes earlier on the card.

The son of Mohaather travelled well throughout and met the rising ground well at Gowran to put the race to bed very quickly when recording a six-and-a-half-length success, with the Henry de Bromhead-trained Hollys Graces finishing second.

"We were keen that he'd get a win after a couple of very good runs and he won impressively," said winning trainer Joseph O'Brien.

"We'll see where we go from here. Delighted to get his head back in front, he deserves it. He could go for something on Champions Weekend. He was just beaten at the Curragh on Derby weekend, so we might go back there."

Since the 1st of July, O'Brien has sent out 32 winners, including a four-timer and five trebles (one of them an 'across the cards' three-timer encompassing Sons And Lovers' Group 2 success at Longchamp on Bastille Day).

His haul for this month is greater than the seasonal tally of any of his rivals, except for his father Aidan on 46.
