HAVING saddled the opening winner at Rockfield with the impressive Monbeg Aquadude, Donnchadh Doyle completed his domination of the weekend’s four-year-old maidens when taking the W.P. Mullins-sponsored opener with King Cool (10/1), one of two runners he saddled in the contest.

Restrained in rear by promising 5lb claimer John Doyle in a drama filled contest which saw the two market principals, Bellamy and Le Fou Royal, coming to grief at the opening obstacle, the King’s Theatre gelding jumped boldly, and it was one such brave leap which brought him into contention at the fourth last before he ultimately kicked clear after the penultimate fence.
