Adrian Heskin completed a quick 224/1 double at Roscommon when partnering the winners of both divisions of the Ivan Connaughton Auctioneer Handicap Hurdle, with Havana Dancer taking division two in a thrilling finish.
There were three in the air together at the final flight as leader Carlowsantana was reeled in, and Havana Dancer just finished the stronger to collar Mr Moondance
The 14/1 chance had three quarters of a length to spare at the line, with Carlowsantana another four lengths back in third.
Heskin was successful on another 14/1 chance in division one aboard Kentucky Lass
Winning trainer Colin Bowe said, “It's only her second run for me. She didn't show much interest in Downpatrick and the bit of soft ground probably helped her.
"She was good and honest and Adrian said if we step her up in trip she could win another little race.
"I have about ten in training for the summer."
