Johnny Levins registered his fourth win in the training ranks when Miller Beach supplied Gary Carroll with a double on the card in the second split of the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.

Carroll, earlier on the mark courtesy of Missile Command brought up the 21/1 brace when the Sakhee's Secret chestnut, having his fourth outing for the yard here, beat Valley Queen by two lengths.

Levins reflected: "It's about time I had my first winner here.

"He's a progressive type and I'd say come March on the turf I'll be wondering how I got him beat off a mark of 58.

"He's schooled and jumps well and I think he'll be a better turf horse so we've got plenty of options.

"I have him in again next Wednesday – it's over seven furlongs but I think that'll probably suit as he'll still be a bit buzzy after today.

"He'll probably run providing his bloods are okay."
