Wa Wa brings up McLoughlin's brace Facile-winner Wa Wa brought up a double for trainer Dermot McLoughlin in Killarney. This was his first start for McLoughlin having switched from David Christie. Once the 9/4 favourite took over after touching down the race was as good as over barring a fall. He cranked up the pressure on the bridle two out and Bryan Cooper could afford a look over his shoulder. He was clear by the last and hacked up by six lengths from Shes Some Doll (18/5). Getaway Pat was another 12 lengths back in third at 8/1. McLoughlin said: "He is a nice horse and Gary O'Brien (RTV presenter) owns him with a few friends. "David Christie (previous trainer) left it fairly handy for us and said he'd be better going left-handed. The conditions of the race suited him well, he stays well and Bryan said he jumps well. "Today was the plan but he is a nice horse going forward and we'll look for a winners' race or handicap." McLoughlin also saddled Digby to land the rated novice hurdle on the card.
