Treble for Elliott & double for Gainford as Lightkeeper strikes again Lightkeeper completed a treble for Gordon Elliott and a double for Jordan Gainford, as he followed-up on his St Patrick's Day success at Down Royal in the Bolands Remembers Mary Novice Handicap Chase. Out of dual point-to-point and five-time track winner Our Victoria, the Walk In The Park bay led early, before soon settling in second after Letos went on. Closing on the front-runner approaching the straight and improving to lead just before two out, the Barstool Prophets Syndicate-owned victor soon skipped a few lengths clear and kept on well for pressure on the run-in, coming home eight-lengths to the good. Returned the well-backed 2/1 favourite (from 12s in early shows), Kiltealy Park finished second under Sean Flanagan for Paul Nolan, while Nas Na Riogh (18/1) was another length and three-quarters away in third. "It's been a good day at the office," Ian 'Busty' Amond, representing Elliott, commented. "This fella is after getting a new lease of life lately. Jordan didn't panic with the one going off in front and he said his biggest threat going to the second last was the loose horse. "He gave him a good ride, as he did on the mare earlier and he is riding well. "This horse is owned by Gordon’s father John and lads from Summerhill that he would know for years." Elliott earlier claimed the opening two races with Kish Bank and Cooke’s Lass respectively, with Gainford aboard the latter.
