Double delight for Lynch

MEATH-BASED trainer Andy Lynch enjoyed a memorable evening in Roscommon last night, saddling his first double with Roley and Ahorsecalledmolly in the chase action.

Enterprisingly ridden by Tim Carroll, Roley made all to land the Connaught Beginners Chase at the expense of Give Us A Hand before ten-year-old Ahorsecalledmolly, under a power-packed ride from Robbie Colgan, got the better of Jamsie Hall in the Sean Naughton Auctioneers Handicap Chase.

After greeting Roley in the winner’s enclosure, Lynch said: “We tried front-running tactics with him before, but he got tired. He was a fitter horse today.
