THE Cormac Doyle-handled Diese Des Bieffes (9/4 - 6/4) further enhanced his burgeoning reputation when dominating the feature open lightweight at last Sunday’s Galway Blazers meeting at Loughrea.

Setting an exacting gallop from flag fall under Jack Hendrick, the recent Monksgrange scorer only had pointing debutant Fils D’Oudairies for company for much of the early stages of the five-runner contest. With that Enda Bolger-handled gelding crying enough shortly after the fourth from home, the sweet-jumping grey was left in splendid isolation thereafter, ultimately coming home a cosy 10 lengths ahead of La Feline.
