Harrington doubles up with Don't

Jessica Harrington completed a quick double at Punchestown this afternoon when Don't Touch It claimed the Pigsback.com Nick Coen Memorial Handicap Chase.

The JP McManus-owned gelding travelled supremely well to lead after the second last in the two-miler.

Mark Walsh 's mount was always doing enough on the run-in to hold the late charge of Caolaneoin by half a length while another Harrington inmate, Neverushacon also finished well in third.

The 5/1 winner had been beaten favourite on his last outing when chasing home Hurricane Ben (fourth today) at Fairyhouse.

“The horses are just in good form. They just all seem to be coming together at the right time,” said Harrington.

“I thought he was unlucky in Fairyhouse, he just couldn't quite get to him. Today he always had him a bit closer but he still nearly got him beat.

“He's got a lot of class but he's definitely a bit of a Scorpion. Mark said he nearly got him beaten by going to the front too soon.

“He just cruised there but when he gets to the front he thinks it's great fun and 'I'm here why should I go any quicker'.

“I put cheekpieces on for the first time as Barry said in Fairyhouse to put them on him.

“I have a great team behind my and I'm very lucky to have them.

“We've got up to a bit of a high peak. The only way is down and it's usually very quickly down!”
