Jockey Michael O’Sullivan is certainly making an impact in the early weeks of his career in the paid ranks and he followed up a spectacular double in Listowel on Friday by sharing a double with trainer Barry Connell in Roscommon, including his first graded success on board Enniskerry in the Grade Three Ballymore Group Kilbegnet Novice Chase.
An eight-year-old Jeremy gelding, Enniskerry had made a winning start to his chasing career in Galway and confirmed the form here, beating Midnight Run again, with top-weight Sole Pretender a creditable third, with winning rider O’Sullivan unable to claim his 7lb allowance in this graded event.
