HENRY de Bromhead completed a double at Killarney for the second consecutive day on Saturday, on a day when also sending out Royal Ascot winner Ascending to finish second in York’s featured Ebor Handicap.

De Bromhead began Saturday’s haul with Downmexicoway’s (15/8 joint favourite) success in the Killarney Towers Hotel Novice Chase under Darragh O’Keeffe. Held up behind the leader, the chasing debutante improved to lead from the second last and went on to score readily by eight and a half lengths.
