Billy Lee moved on to 89 winners this season when he doubled up at Roscommon aboard Paradise Lost for Charles O'Brien in the concluding handicap on the card.

The 3/1 favourite really responded to his urgings to get motoring on the outer a furlong and a-half down.

The momentum carried the pair right into contention inside the final furlong and they came to collar Billie Frechette racing into the closing 100 yards.

The 3/1 favourite, in first-time cheekpieces, saw it out by half a length from the 12/1 runner-up. King Of The Bronx (13/2) was another two and a-half lengths back in third.

Lee said: “Nothing went to plan. I wanted to be a lot more forward, but he was very slowly away and slow into stride.

“It took me a long time to get to grips with the race, even halfway down around the bottom I thought I had a lot of ground to make up.

“They've gone a good gallop and I was just working my way into it. Noel Meade's horse (Billie Frechette) actually came from behind me and went by me and I thought he was gone on me.

“My lad stays well and when Noel's horse just levelled off a bit he was getting going. Once he got on to the back of him he found more, he won cosy at the line.

“His best run was in Tipperary and I thought he ran well that day. He ran into a horse that that won a few after as well. He was unlucky to run into her that day and it's good to get a win out of him.”

Lee was earlier successful on Ata Rangi for Henry de Bromhead.
