TWO northern-based trainers struck down south last week with the first being James Lambe who sent out Rattling Jewel to land the seven-furlong handicap at Listowel on Friday.

Carrying the colours of John O’Mahony and ridden by 7lb-claimer Gavin Ryan, the seven-year-old Royal Applause gelding, who was sent off a 14/1 shot, went clear a furlong out but then just held on to score by a neck from the 13/2 favourite, Sagittarius Rising.
