Aingeal Dorcha completed an across the card double for Killenaule trainer Andy Slattery when taking the Thanks To All Our Sponsors Handicap at Gowran Park.
Slattery, on the mark earlier with Rebel Step in a maiden hurdle at Limerick, was teaming up here with his son and namesake for a convincing victory.
The 4/1 chance asserted over a furlong out and soon put the extended 1m1f event to bed, keeping on strongly to score by three and a half lengths. Barretstown kept on one paced to take the runner-up berth, with Clueless Hill a further two and a half lengths adrift in third.
Andy Slattery senior said, “I thought he’d win in the Curragh the last day but he ran too free, did too much. He did that well.
“He’d prefer softer ground. He’s a nice horse and will jump a hurdle. He’s a fine big horse and I think he’d be good at it.
“He ran well here last year and we always thought a bit of him.
“He stays a mile and two and could go in mile races on heavy ground.”
