DERMOT McLoughlin enjoyed a double on the card initiated by second reserve Joya Del Mar (11/2) in division two of the Denvir’s Of Downpatrick (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle.

Successful over course and distance on her penultimate start, the Giles-Fahey and Mangan-owned mare initially disputed and led before the fourth hurdle. Jack Sutton asked her for more from two out and she responded, going on to win by four and a quarter lengths.
