FORMER southern regional champion Mikey O’Connor dominated Sunday’s well-attended Pigeon Hill & Carrigtwohill fixture at Ballyvodock as he was the only rider to partner a double at the United Hunt-sanctioned meeting and he instigated his brace aboard Marie Harding’s exciting five-year-old Hunt Away in the winners-of-two.

Hunt Away (4/5 favourite), who was recording his third consecutive success of the campaign following victories at Dromahane in November and Aghabullogue last month, always travelled well on the inner and he moved through to hit the front at the penultimate of the 13 obstacles.
