With the Morgiana, John Durkan and Betfair Chase in the rear-view mirror, and the Fighting Fifth, Coral Gold Cup and Hatton’s Grace fast approaching, there is zero shortage of top action to be consumed by in weeks like we’re in right now.

Naturally, that can make it easy for results away from the glitz of Grade 1s to fly under the radar somewhat, but a mid-week double for Irish connections across the water was one thing that caught the eye this week. It was a feat that continued what has been a quietly excellent season for a talented, and arguably underrated, Irish rider.
