Breakthrough win for Ado's Bear Blinkered for the first time, and making just his second start over five furlongs, One Cool Bear (17/2) registered his first victory in Bellewstown’s Johnny Kierans Memorial Handicap. Having tracked the leaders under Adam Caffrey, the three-year-old headed Ballysax Lil Mick just inside the final furlong to score by half a length. Winning trainer Ado McGuinness commented “John Ryan (owner) is a big National Hunt man, a lot of horses with Tom (Cooper) and that, and used to be a former Forpadydeplasterer man as well. He has bred him and it is great to get a win for the mare as well. "He ran well in Dundalk and paid the penalty a little bit for running well and not winning. He got a high mark one day for being second, he went up 3lb or 4lb. That's hard on them. "I said that an ease in the ground today would be a big help to him and he had a nice draw. He travelled well, in all fairness. "He'll get six (furlongs) no problem as well, so it is great. "He's in tomorrow night in Dundalk, we won't run him because we will carry a 7lb penalty, plus I think we are 4lb or 5lb higher (on all-weather). We will wait until Navan next Wednesday."
