Domhnaigh takes last for Bolger/Manning

Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning continued their fine start to the new campaign when Ri An Domhnaigh took the concluding maiden at Limerick.

The lightly-raced five-year-old was last seen in action over hurdles at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but showed plenty of gears on his return to the level. Emotional Dream made a bold bid for home two furlongs out in the 1m3f contest but was just mugged in the closing stages.

The Rock Of Gibraltar gelding finished to good effect inside the final furlong and got to the front close home for a neck success.

The 8/1 winner started life in bumpers and had been well held in two previous outings on the Flat.
