Realt aims at Irish Festivals

Realt Dubh is likely to be seen out again this season at Fairyhouse or Punchestown following his creditable third to Captain Chris in the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham last week.

"He ran a very good race and we have no excuses, he was just beaten by better horses," Meade continued.

"I'd say he'll go again somewhere. He'll either go to Punchestown for the two-mile novice or to Fairyhouse for the Powers Gold Cup over two and a half miles. A lot will depend on the ground."
