- Doyle continues his blistering run
Doyle continues his blistering run
Tom Doyle partnered his sixth winner in as many days as himself and Regal D'Estruval never saw another rival in the Dunhill Beginners Chase at Tramore.
This fellow was sent out by Jim Culloty who saddled another winner in a similar event in the shape of Barrel Of Laughs at Tipperary on Tuesday.
Regal D'Estruval was having his fifth outing in a chase here and he finished second over the course and distance in June. In this two miler the French bred kept on well from two out to easily beat Native Palm by twelve lengths. Mayo Mystique was making no impression when unseating Declan Bates two from home.
Culloty said: "He's a very free front-runner. Before he never got home on anything softer than good.
"He ran on quite firm ground here in June and then he didn't let himself down on it at Galway last time (the end of July).
"So we decided to let him off for a while after that and it has worked.
"In fairness he's not as free as he used to be." Easily Pleased finished 8th here and he was found to have burst a blood vessel.
Meanwhile Uncle Taffy was 6th and Ruby Walsh reported that he never travelled and didn't respond under pressure.
