Keepcalmandsailon completed a double for Gary Carroll when taking the concluding Book Online At DundalkStadium.com Maiden.

The Andy Oliver-trained gelding was going one better having filled the runner-up spot at Navan recently.

The well backed 6/4 shot was never too far from the pace and kept on well inside the final furlong to beat 5/4 favourite Mint Man by half a length. Supreme Success was the same distance further away in third.

Carroll was also on the mark earlier aboard Rumbled Again (15/2).

Carroll said, "I actually rode him work before he ever ran and he worked well.

"I thought he would run well that day in Navan (second) - the slower ground probably caught him out. Back to a sounder surface there today, he was a different horse.

"He jumped, travelled, quickened well and got to the line.

"He will get seven furlongs as well. Fine, big horse and he will improve again.

"He is going to be a nice four-year-old as well. Nice horse going forward."
