Colin Keane went back to back when half an hour after his success on Palace Of Winds in the 7.15, he doubled-up aboard his father Gerry's Captain Cullen in the www.jamiemcdonald.org Handicap at Dundalk.

This Strategic Prince five-year-old, three times previously a winner, including when landing his maiden here in October 2011, had his supporters in the ring on this occasion, finding a starting price of 5/1 from an opening show of sixes.

After taking a keen hold in mid-division, Captain Cullen was delivered down the rail inside the last, getting up close home to deny Danseur De Feu by half a length.

Keane junior remarked: "Two winners so happy days.

"He pulled very hard and he's hard to settle – he's very keen. He got a lovely gap though." (MG & EM)
