Pat Flynn and Danny Grant, earlier individually successful with Final Flashback and Isabellareine combined to double their respective tallies at Tramore when Prince Chaparral made light of top-weight in the Madra Dog Foods Handicap.

As he had done on Isabellareine earlier, Grant gave Prince Chaparral a good front-running ride, asking the 7/4 favourite to raise his effort from the two furlong pole and the High Chaparral gelding had his race won from over a furlong out. He eventually crossed the line four and a half lengths to the good from Quai Du Roi

Flynn remarked of his charge, following up a win at Galway almost a fortnight back: "He is an improving horse and I think he'll be a real good hurdle horse though he won't be one for deep ground.

"He might go for a bigger flat race before then. He is a hell of a talented horse and it's only now that he is coming to himself."

Prince Chaparral was bred and races in the well-known colours of Christy Maye.
