GLOUNTHAUNE continued an unerringly similar career path to last year’s winner Poetic Flare when landing the featured Richmond Homes Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown.

Both colts won early-season maidens before a lengthy spell on the sidelines prior to finishing unplaced in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket, and Glounthaune also emulated the subsequent Qipco 2000 Guineas hero by bouncing back just seven days later to take this Group 3 prize.
