Doyle on a roll

TOM Doyle registered his sixth win in a week when Regal D’Estruval made all to land the Dunhill Beginners Chase in emphatic style at windswept Tramore yesterday.

A second winner in three days for trainer Jim Culloty, Regal D’Estruval bowled along in front, jumping fluently and won unchallenged by twelve lengths from Native Palm.

Culloty, who triumphed with Barrel Of Laughs at Tipperary on Tuesday, commented: “He used to be a very, very fast and free front-runner and never got home in ground softer than good. He ran well here on quick ground in the summer, but didn’t let himself down on it at Galway. So we decided to give him a break and bring him back on easier ground.
