Power and Punters in Clover at Limerick

Robbie Power completed a 14/1 double and made it three nil in favour of punters at Limerick when Weapon's Amnesty (9/2 in the morning into 11/4 favourite) stayed on well to take the featured Jimmy Barry Memorial Dorans Pride Novice Hurdle.

Waited with, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned chestnut, made his ground up after three out and led before the last, going away to convincingly account for Browns Baily by four lengths.

Charles Byrnes said of his winner: "We'll look for a grade two race now. He stays well and seems to handle that ground well but we think he'll handle better ground. He is a chaser in the making and hopefully he'll win a decent three mile chase some day." (EM)
