Daler completed a quick-fire treble for Ger Lyons when digging deep to claim the Boyle Sports Handicap, over nine furlongs, at Leopardstown tonight.

Gary Carroll, bagging a brace for himself, got a good tune from the 12/1 shot in the closing stages as he collared front-runner Molto Amichi

The Dark Angel gelding, in first time cheekpieces, was nicely on top late on as he recorded a two-and-a-quarter length success.

It was a second career success for Daler, who had landed a Dundalk handicap last October.

"Of all the horses coming tonight, I would have said he won't handle the soft,” said Lyons.

“I said to Gary 'have we ever ran him on soft' cause it's always been Dundalk and better ground. It's great.

“It's like everything in racing, you see yards can't do right for doing wrong and, next thing, I don't know what it is but we'll make the most of it."
