The David O'Brien trained Double Windsor got up close home to win the Clonmel Show Sunday 1st July Handicap Chase at Clonmel today, under jockey Sean Flanagan.

The six year old gelding jumped the final fence in third place but finished strongly and edged ahead close home for a half length win over Native Lass

O'Brien's gelding was recording his second career success and his first since May 2017 and afterwards the winning trainer said “blinkers seemed to do the trick - and Sean Flanagan! He tried to run out at the first but Sean got him straight and the blinkers did the trick.”
