Scarlet And Dove gained consecutive weekend Graded wins today as Limerick as the Joseph O'Brien trained, Gigginstown House Stud owned mare landed the featured Charleville EBF (Mares) Novice Chase under jockey Donagh Meyler.
The daughter of Jeremy won a Naas Grade 3 chase eight days ago and while she blundered today at halfway in today's Grade 2, eventually went clear of her rivals in the home straight when recording a seven lengths win over fast-finishing Minx Tiara
Jockey Meyler was notching his biggest non-handicap winner and afterwards the Galway Plate and Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Hurdle winner stated "she has been good to me and she picked up a Grade 3 last week and a Grade 2 today. The race cut up but we reaped the rewards.
"She jumped the next few fences well after making her mistake and is learning the whole time so hopefully can progress again.
"She was matching strides with Colreevy the whole way at Thurles the last day and I didn't think I was out of it when she fell. Her jumping wasn't brilliant that day but is coming on with every run. Hopefully she'll progress again and meet (Colreevy) again in the future."
