Review CLONMEL 26TH NOV Dorans Pride achieved another milestone in a memorable career when capturing his fourth successive Morris Oil Chase at a well-attended Clonmel yesterday.The veteran, racing for the third weekend in a row, was confidently ridden by trainer Michael Hourigan's son Paul and had a comfortable 2 1/2 lengths to spare over 25/1 shot Clash Of The Gales at the line.'Hopefully we'll be back next year to try for a fifth' said Hourigan Sr., indicating that his stable star is a 'possible' for next Sunday's Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse.High-class hurdler Balla Sola got no further than the fourth fence on debut over the larger obstacles in the EBF Beginners' Chase.The five year-old appeared unscathed afterwards, and Merchants Fried took full advantage of his departure to grab The King's Doctor on the line in an exciting finish.Cronin's Boy atoned for a narrow defeat last weekend with a facile success in the Morris Oil Home Heat handicap hurdle.
