O'Grady & McNamara double up with Jack
Jack Finch, became the third winner of the day to have previously scored over the course (College Daisy and Dashing Ruby the other two) when he held off See Double You by a head in the Dunbia Handicap Chase. In the process the Overbury gelding was bringing up over a 42/1 double for Edward O'Grady and Andrew McNamara. The pair had earlier been on the mark with New Town Bay
Jack Finch got the better leap at the last and that was decisive in him holding off See Double You. Both had contested the race that Jack Finch won here three weeks back, as had the third, Shiloh fifth, Rebel Dream and the puller-up, What's In Front
O'Grady commented of Strabane owner, Pat Blee's 100/30 winner: "He jumps well. He has had leg trouble and it is a credit to everyone in the yard to get him back. He has been very consistent and it looks like he'll get a little further. He could go for some of those long distance chases later in the year."
