No stopping Slevin as he doubles-up on Ocean

After a week to remember at the Punchestown Festival, JJ Slevin continued his rich vein of form, completing a double aboard Ocean Legacy in the Horatio Group Handicap Chase.
Successful at Wexford on her penultimate start, the Dermot McLoughlin trained six-year-old fell at the last when beaten on her most recent outing at Tramore.
Available at 16/1 in early shows for this near three mile contest, the Kalanisi bay came in for market-support, eventually going off an 8/1 chance in the colours of owner David Eiffe.
Never too far from the pace and pushed along in fifth away from three out, she jumped the next in a close third. A foot perfect leap at the last saw her land in front and she kept on well when ridden on the run-in, coming home four lengths to the good.
Sent off the 7/2 favourite, Walking The Walk finished second under Danny Gilligan for Gordon Elliott, while Earths Furies (4/1) was another six-and-a-half lengths back in third.
Slevin earlier took the opener on Ottizzini while he had four winners at the Punchestown Festival, winning the Gold Cup aboard Fastorslow.
STEWARDS REPORT
At the request of the Raceday Stewards, Mr O. McGill, rider of Cave Court trained by Noel C. Kelly, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount never travelled.
