NOEL McParlan continued his recent successful run of form securing a double at the North Down point-to-point at Kirkistown on Saturday.

Owned and trained by Noel’s father Sean, the impressive Holycross Lito (8/1-3/1) initiated the brace in the Tattersalls Ireland five-year-old and upwards mares’ maiden. “She had a nice introduction at Oldtown last month and really improved from that to win nicely today. We will run her in a winners’ contest next and keep her for breeding long-term”, commented the winning handler following her easy 12-length victory from the recent Armagh final fence faller, He Knows My Name.
