Sean Davis rode a 135/1 double at Navan with his mount 20/1 chance Dragons Call successful in the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap (Plus 10 Race).
Half-an-hour on from his win on Only Spoofing for Jedd O'Keeffe in the sprint handicap, Davis beat his boss Ger Lyons in the centrepiece, the John Feane-trained Dragons Call accouting for Glenburnie representative Bailly by a length and a quarter.
"Her first run was good here and I was happy with her, Mark Gallagher rode her and she ran a lovely race," said Feane.
"She ran a beautiful race in Naas but then I made a big mistake bringing her to Dundalk the last day.
"I know she was 7lb out of the handicap today but I thought getting 25lb off the horse that beat us three lengths in Naas we had every chance. I'm delighted and we fancied her a bit.
"We could possibly look at the Birdcatcher. She'll probably get 7lb for winning a length-and-a-quarter and 7lb for being out of the handicap so that's 14lb. It might be tough but you never know."
