Adrian Heskin, narrowly denied in the preceding contest, completed his double at Sligo today when Havana Dancer claimed the Martin Reilly BMW Handicap Hurdle.

There were three in contention jumping the last int he two-and-a-half mile contest but Colin Bowe's charge asserted on the run-in for a length-and-a-half success. Drive The Bus claimed the runner-up spot by the same distance ahead of Captains And Kings

The 3/1 favourite was third at Wexford on her previous started having scored at Roscommon last month.

“It's been a good day's work with two winners and I was just touched off for a treble,” said Heskin.

“She finished very strongly. They went very slow early on and I just let her get into it. She outstayed them at the end.”
