Hat-trick for Wolfe as Lyons doubles up

Cape Wolfe s wins are coming in threes at present as the gelding's win in the concluding Follow Naas Racecourse On Facebook Race at Naas was also the second win on the evening for trainer Ger Lyons.

Cafe Wolfe had failed to win in his initial nine attempts (seven were in maidens) but was tonight, again under Colin Keane, recording a hat-trick of wins having lost his maiden tag at Dundalk in May.

Afterwards Lyons, whose Bear Cheek was an impressive winner of the opener, stated "he's going the right way. Colin said since he got his head in front at Dundalk he hasn't looked back and he's matured into a lovely horse.

"There wasn't much of a gallop and it suited him as he loves to hunt one down (headed runner-up Seanie close home).

"We'll see what the handicapper does - I don't know if a Listed race is beyond him but fast ground is his forte and we'll have a look at it."

"It's nice to win three with one in Ireland."
