The David O'Brien trained The Gatechecker maintained his 100% record at Limerick today when following up a recent point-to-point win with impressive bumper success in the Lyons Of Limerick Jaguar And Land Rover Bumper.

Ridden by Declan Queally, the son of Classic Cliche stayed on strongly in the home straight for a 15 lengths win over Thatshowhedidit

Afterwards O'Brien said "I've always known he was a good horse and I'm now hoping to sell him: I'll drive home slow!"
