Dooneys can close gate on rivals

DOONEYS GATE is a confident nap choice to land the Cashel Chase at Thurles this afternoon.

The nine-year-old is likely to arrive in good shape, following a game display in a handicap at Leopardstown last month.

He certainly dug down deep when the questions were asked by Ruby Walsh, finding plenty for pressure to beat Show Blessed (rec. 16lbs) by a length and a quarter.
