Sean Corby and Tony Martin completed doubles as they combined to score with Cassells Rock in the Dublin Racing Club At Leopardstown Handicap.

Corby won the fifth at Leopardstown on Local Flier for Tom McCourt while Martin won the opener at Sligo with Elishpour

Cassells Rock finished a close-up fourth behind Hidden Universe at Galway last week and he was sent off a 4/1 chance this evening.

He made all and kept on well when ridden close home to score by a length at the line. Money Spider came through for second at 16/1 under Gary Carroll for Johnny Levins while the 5/2 favourite John Constable was half a length back in third for Aidan and Joseph O’Brien.

Tony Martin, who was also in Sligo earlier, said afterwards: "That’s great and I’m delighted for Donal (owner Donal Houlihan).

"He was very unlucky at Galway. It was my fault putting a visor on him there and he was just a bit free. I thought it would help but it didn’t. Luckily he got ample compensation tonight.

"The young lad was very good. He is riding out of his skin. He is doing everything asked of him and he is using his head."
