Noel Meade has his string in fine form, and Beacon Edge and Lieutenant Colonel gave the Tu Va Stables boss, rider Sean Flanagan, and owners Gigginstown House Stud a fine double on Sunday’s card in Galway.

Beacon Edge, a winner at Downpatrick earlier in the month, had just three opponents in the Grade 3 Marlin Hotel Dublin, Supporting The National Breast Cancer Institute Hurdle, and he duly put them to the sword.
