Coolfighter made it four in-a-row as he ran out a good winner of the Cahir Handicap, scoring under Seamie Heffernan for Noel Dooly and owners the Capo Vaticano Partnership.

The six-year-old son of Black Sam Bellamy won a claimer for Tony Mullins at Tramore last month and was subsequently claimed by current connections for €10,000.

He won again two days later at Tramore before completing the hat-trick at Wexford when awarded a race after finishing second (Colin Keane failed to weigh-in on winner Unrequited).

Sent off a 5/2 chance this evening he was settled in third on the outer and was ridden to challenge from the two furlong pole.

He got to the front inside the final furlong and was pushed out from there to score by two lengths.

Moonmiester, who was 9/4 overnight, was sent off the 13/8 favourite and he finished second under Pat Smullen for Gordon Elliott.

Noel Dooly said afterwards: "He did it well. Seamie was disgusted with the ride he gave him the last day but in the end it didn’t matter.

"He is a quirky horse and it is hard at home to keep his head right. We do very little with at home but we’ve kept him busy.

"Once the ground is gone he is gone. If it stays dry he will go to Listowel on Wednesday for a mile and a half handicap.

"He is well handicapped over hurdles too so we will see what happens with him."
