Andy Oliver and Billy Lee completed doubles at Gowran Park when Collision Course battled bravely to land the Like Gowran Park On Facebook Handicap.

With favourite Storm Ranger emerging from the pack a furlong out, the writing looked on the wall for the 9-2 winner, but he stuck his head down when it mattered to score by a head.

Jessie Harrington's 6-4 favourite was in front fully two furlongs out, but had to find plenty for Colm O'Donoghue's urgings to fend off the fast-finishing Dream Sleep by three-quarters of a length.

That was an across-the-card double for Harrington after a winner at Limerick, while Ger Lyons and Colin Keane made it a Gowran double with Insayshable (8-13 favourite) landing the www.gowranpark.ie Race.

Earlier Lyons' 13-8 favourite Always Dancing just fended off Breezolini to land the first division of the Racing Again August 16th Handicap under Keane, while 9-2 favourite Eleuthera came out on top in a blanket finish to the second division for trainer Johnny Levins and jockey Donagh O'Connor.
