Retired trainer John Nicholson landed Cork's featured €45,000 Co-Op Superstores Handicap Chase today with own homebred The Banger Doyle (11/4f), which scored a fortunate success for trainer John Queally and jockey Michael O'Sullivan.

Front-running Dollar Value held a clear lead for most of the 2m1f trip, and while his lead had been reduced to one-length by The Banger Doyle approaching the last, fell at that final obstacle, leaving the winner to coast home by 12 lengths, from Calico

Trainer Queally reported “I think we were a bit fortunate but having said that, he deserved his day in the sun as he had been ultra consistent and finished second in three Flat races this year.

“There might be one more race for him if the ground stays good but his time of year is coming to an end.”

Owner/breeder Nicholson added “my father bought into this pedigree with The Banger Doyle's great grandam Oh Jemima in the 1980s and I still have the family.

“It is a great family and his half-brother Sebastopol won a Grade 3 in America the other night. The Banger Doyle's dam is in-foal at present and I have a filly out of her who was due to go to the sales, but that might change now!"
