Hello Neighbour forges home under Gary Carroll© Photo Healy Racing
Hello Neighbour made it two from two in the Roscommon Rated Race and brought up a brace of winners on the card for Gavin Cromwell and Gary Carroll.
The Harzand gelding was sent after Himalayan Heights and passed him inside the final two furlongs.
Carroll asked his partner to assert outside the final furlong and the pair moved clear in the closing stages to post a victory by a more than healthy three lengths.
The favourite obliged at even money from runner-up Cheeky Wink (6/1).
Cromwell said:- “He's a nice horse, we're going to go hurdling with him now.
“I suppose the mile-and-a-quarter is probably his minimum and it was a small bit of a concern coming back from a mile-and-six (in Navan) but, with an ease in the ground, I thought it would balance the books a bit.
“Hopefully, he's a good horse.”
Cromwell and Carroll also teamed up with Breezy Zoff in race four.
