Gainford completes double for in-form Nolan

Trainer Paul Nolan continued his good start to the new season with consistent Mister Bells win in Killarney's Kelly Foley O'Connor Pyne Handicap Chase today, as jockey Jordan Gainford completed a double.

Gainford, earlier successful on 20/1 chance Calagogo for Sneazy Foster, steered Mister Bells to a hard-fought length and a quarter win over Old Town Road

It was the son of Power's second win of the summer having scored at Limerick in May and also filled the runner-up at Kilbeggan in June and Tipperary in July.

Nolan was registering his 11th winner of the new season, equaling his total for 2019/20, and following the race Gainford stated “Paul's horses are in great form and he was in great form coming here. He has had three very consistent runs but I thought the ground was going against him.

"The trip was right for him, we went a right good gallop and in fairness to the horse in front of me (eventual runner-up Old Town Road), he was game but my lad stayed well to the line."
