Robbie Dunne recorded a quick double this evening when winning The Nokia Opportunity Handicap Hurdle aboard the Aidan Howard trained Irish Quest

Winning trainer Howard said afterwards, "It's the first time she got two-and-a-half miles and the ground to suit her. The owner has been brilliant and let me take my time with her and I'm very grateful. In time she'll go chasing and should get further."
