KEVIN Power left Stradbally last Sunday with a double but may well have been thinking about the ‘what if’ as the Limerick rider from only four rides was beaten a neck and a half-length on his other two mounts which could have seen him leave the venue with a clean sweep and a first four-timer.

The opening DBS Spring Sales five-year-old geldings’ maiden went to the Timmy Hyde-trained The Tailor Quigley (7/4) who narrowly came out on top in a three-way finish where the trio were covered by less than a length.
