Daffodil completes Deegan double
Paul Deegan completed a double at the Curragh when Daffodil Walk ran out a convincing winner of the six furlong handicap.
Kieran O'Neill produced the filly to lead inside the final furlong and she stayed on strongly to score by three-lengths from Lord Rathvinden
"I haven't seen it as I was down at the start with her," said Deegan afterwards.
"She's been due one of these as she was beaten a short-head here at the start of last season and has been second and third. She never really runs a bad race.
"She struggled a bit last year as she won her maiden and then was fourth in the Marble Hill and was high enough rated.
"My horses are healthy and in great form, thank God."
Deegan also had news of Irish 1,000 Guineas hope Lady Springbank:- "She was out this morning and looks great in her coat. She came out of her last run fresh and well."
