Facile-winner Wa Wa brought up a double for trainer Dermot McLoughlin in Killarney.

This was his first start for McLoughlin having switched from David Christie.

Once the 9/4 favourite took over after touching down the race was as good as over barring a fall.

He cranked up the pressure on the bridle two out and Bryan Cooper could afford a look over his shoulder.

He was clear by the last and hacked up by six lengths from Shes Some Doll (18/5). Getaway Pat was another 12 lengths back in third at 8/1.

McLoughlin said: "He is a nice horse and Gary O'Brien (RTV presenter) owns him with a few friends.

"David Christie (previous trainer) left it fairly handy for us and said he'd be better going left-handed. The conditions of the race suited him well, he stays well and Bryan said he jumps well.

"Today was the plan but he is a nice horse going forward and we'll look for a winners' race or handicap."

McLoughlin also saddled Digby to land the rated novice hurdle on the card.
