DOMINATION is getting better with age and followed a victory on the Flat at the Curragh with a cracking effort behind Edeymi over the minimum trip at the Galway Festival. He easily reversed the form with the winner when sent over 3m here last time and though dropping in trip it shouldn't prove a problem. Despite that excellent form, he's receiving 10lb from recent winners Silk Hall and Time To Work even though he's much higher rated than either while Gimli's Rock also needs to find something extra as he was 10l behind the selection in that recent race here.
