Gary Carroll, who saw his claim reduced to 5Ibs last night when he scored aboard Lus Na Hoiche, rode another couple of winners, Steig prevailing by a length and a quarter in the Yolanda O'Gorman Memorial Handicap.

Still drawing the seven for a short period, Carroll got to the front on the 5/1 favourite about two furlongs out and though drifting off the rail inside the final furlong he had enough up his sleeve to see off Lake An Lay

For Donegal handler, Charlie Moore this was a landmark success and he said: "George Baker had him. That is my first winner. I only have my licence around two years. He might go to Galway now where he has two options."

Winning owner, Dessie Dolan, a fellow county man of the winning trainer, has seen his colours carried to victory in the past by the likes of Amongst Amigos and he always enjoys his winners, picking Carroll up off the ground in the parade ring in celebration.

Carroll then brought up a 65/1 double half-an-hour later on Theother Haaf for Andy Oliver. The very talented Kildare teenager got this Alhaarth filly up near the line to beat the gambled-on Philosophers Guest (8s into 5s) by a head in the Cummins Homevalue Hardware Handicap.
