Catwalk King took the Racing Home For Easter Festival April 15th - 17th (Ladies Pro/Am) bumper in runaway fashion at Cork.
Liz Lalor recorded her first double as a trainer just 48 hours ago at Clonmel on Tuesday but this time she was successful in the saddle.
The Liz Doyle-trained gelding had shown promise on debut at Punchestown last month, and obviously progressed well from that run as this was an impressive performance.
The Kutub gelding took control from two furlongs out and quickly stretched clear to beat Cluan Dara by 22 lengths, with Back Bar another eight lengths back in third.
Lalor said, "He did it easily and travelled well the whole way.
"I've had a great week and I'm delighted for the horse's owner Jack Kidd who also bred him and also bred Cheltenham's Neptune Novices Hurdle winner Willoughby Court."
