Arranmore
First and second in 1m3f handicaps at Southwell before unsuited by the drop back to 1m at Ripon; he's fine on turf and could be given another chance.

From the connections
“It's been a long time since Arranmore last won but when you're dropping to this grade, he's going to win somewhere someday, and it was today! We've had him for a while now - he's part of the furniture. He's showed promise to win a race or two and then he follows up with a not so good run, but today he got his head in front - Micky Hammond, trainer.”
“Arranmore got a nice lead and when Cassy O came to me he dug deep. He's tough and genuine and he's going the right way - Shane Gray, jockey.”
“Kevin [Manning] said it was a bit of a messy race. They split into two groups and there was no pace on his side. The horse on his outside brought him over to be as one for the last three furlongs but there was nothing to bring him along quick enough. I'm sure he'll be stepped up in class. He's been unlucky to bump into a real good horse first time out and he got mugged at Naas on his outside last time. He deserved today and is a lovely horse for the future for connections. He's got a great attitude and is a beautiful horse to deal with - Ger Flynn, representative for Jim Bolger, trainer of Arranmore”
