Favori Logique recorded back to back victories in good style when claiming the Road Stud Installations Ltd Handicap Hurdle at Downpatrick.

Ross O'Sullivan 's charge had opened his account at the 16th time of asking at Roscommon earlier in the month and connections didn't have long to wait for win number two.

Shane O'Callaghan was in the plate again on the six-year-old and the pair moved smoothly into the lead after the second last flight in the two-mile-five contest.

O'Callaghan asked his mount for an effort after the final flight and the 3/1 favourite stuck on well to record a five-and-a-half length win over Tango Theatre

O'Sullivan said: "He is living outside. He was a very worried and stressy horse when he was younger and he is happier, I suppose you can do that (live outside) at this time of year.

"It has totally changed his mind. Every run has got better with confidence, that was his best run today. He did everything really easy.

"He is rated 94 over fences so we will have to look at that. There's a Sligo meeting in two weeks time.

"We were scratching our head with him at one stage but we tweaked a few things and living outside he just seems happier. It just goes to show when a horse clicks.

"Shane said he knew he was going to win everywhere, he said four out he was hoping he wasn't going to get there too soon.

"Shane works for Ted (Walsh) and Ted is mad about him. He is getting better all the time and improving. He is getting confidence all the time and the horse is getting confidence all the time, and it is working well together."

The winner runs in the colours of Pat Burke, who lives in Eadestown - not far from O'Sullivan's yard in Kill.
