Odds-on favourite Brigadier Kakuru completed a double for both Danny Murphy and Donagh O'Connor in the 6f event for three-year-olds. 

A winner over course and distance last month, Brigadier Kakuru was sent off 4-5 to repeat the feat and he did so by the skin of his teeth, seeing off Suerte by a head after a ding-dong duel. 

Earlier on the card, Murphy sent out Tribal Moon to land the mile apprentice handicap at odds of 11-2 under Paddy Harnett. 

Just as was the case with Brigadier Kakuru, Tribal Moon made most of the running and fended off the late surge of Morning Approach by half a length. 

The first leg of O'Connor's double arrived in the mile handicap on Lost President

Having only his second start in handicaps, Lost President drifted out to 100-30, having been as short as 2-1 in the morning, but he defied the drift with a gritty display, scoring by three-quarters of a length from Senior Montecristo. 

Roche also on the double

Leigh Roche was another to register a double. 

The Tuam native was successful on board the Pat Murphy-trained Fly To Glory in the 6f handicap and 11-10 favourite Cousin Shay for Natalia Lupini in the second division of the 1m2½f handicap.
