Noel Meade doubled his tally on the evening at Roscommon, adding to his earlier gains with Snow Falcon when Dos Picas scored on his second start in the concluding Four Roads (Pro-Am) INH Flat Race.

Nina Carberry 's mount travelled all over his rivals up the straight, and once given the shove to go and put a seal on things, the Killarney third placer from mid-May went on to defeat Let's Twist Again by five lengths.

"I bought him off Mark Dwyer at the Cheltenham breeze-ups," revealed Meade.

"I should have let him off before he ran at Killarney as he was nearly over the top.

"He's very quick and has a great pedigree. He'll definitely win on the Flat. I'm not sure whether we'll go for a winners bumper now.

"I thought he might be a bit short as he's only done one piece of work and is only back in eight weeks on Wednesday.

"He doesn't want it firm and in Killarney he didn't like it as it was too quick. He's a typical Jeremy. He probably wouldn't want winter ground either as he has too much pace.

"He's a nice horse and will win plenty of races. He's not very big but he jumps like a rocket."

The Stewards fined James Leavy, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Allez Sea in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91. The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
