Gowran winner Ming to be stepped up in class by Joseph O'Brien


Joseph O'Brien is looking to step Ming back up in class after his win at Gowran on Sunday.

A winner on debut at Dundalk in April he was pitched into Group Three company for his next outing in the Gallinule Stakes having been gelded.

He finished sixth of 10 there but got back to winning ways at the weekend, beating Dermot Weld's highly-regarded Chiara Luna comfortably.

"He ran too free the last day in the Curragh but settled well and quickened up nicely. We think he's a nice horse," said O'Brien.

"We may look for another conditions race but he's well entitled to step up into Listed or Group company next. He'd be bred to stay further but he shows plenty of pace."
