Dolly Watkins hits the target for Howard Simon Torrens gave Dolly Watkins (15/2) a well-judged ride to take the handicap hurdle at Limerick over two miles, five furlongs. Torrens settled his mount in the middle of the main pack as Chemdawg went off into a clear lead. Dolly Watkins improved into second on the approach to the straight and began to eat into the leader's advantage. Not fluent at the second-last, she pegged back the tiring front-runner at the last and went away to score by six lengths. The daughter of Lucky Speed had been runner-up on her first run of the season at Down Royal a fortnight ago. Winning trainer Aidan Howard commented "She has had her little issues and we gave her time. She ran very well in Down Royal after a lengthy break and I was hoping she'd go close today. "It was foot issues that she has had, but we have a very good farrier who has done a great job with her. "I'm delighted for my mother Nuala and David Cunning (owners). David is a great friend who I know a long time, and is a great owner."  Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
