Goal Exceeded
Two wins include over this trip at the Curragh a year ago off 73; fine comeback run at Leopardstown but race may have come too soon when only midfield at the Curragh four days later; short break since and remains nicely handicapped, with in-form rider's claim an added bonus.

From the connections
“I think Goal Exceeded will turn into a nice premier handicap horse in time. We're probably looking at the likes of Derby weekend and maybe Galway. Galway might be our main target with a horse like him as they go good and fast and he'll like it. He's an easy enough horse to train and he just suits our system - Ado McGuinnes, trainer.”
