RACING/News Round-Up: Doubles were the order of the day at Thurles yesterday afternoon, with Conor O'Dwyer, Arthur Moore and Paul Carberry all landing a brace.

Highlight for O'Dwyer was the silk-smooth performance of Youlneverwalkalone in the Glen Chase. Sent off a generous 11 to 10 chance, the JP McManus-owned gelding raced in second for most, behind Be My Belle, but comfortably reeled in the front-runner, easing on from the last for a four-length success.

The Wexford-born rider had begun his double on Jurado Express (8 to 1), who put up a highly competent display of fencing on his debut in the opening beginners chase. O'Dwyer never moved a muscle on the six-year-old, running out a comprehensive, four-and-a-half length victor over Galway Hurdle hero Say Again.

Trainer Arthur Moore suggested a winners of one at Cork on Sunday week as a likely objective.

Danny Howard was in the plate when Moore registered victory number two in the two mile six furlong handicap chase. Lough Ennel was sent off an unconsidered 12 to 1 shot, but belied those odds with a comfortable, two-and-a-half length win, holding the late surge of top-weight Garvivonnian.

Odds-on punters had some cause for concern in the juvenile hurdle when market-leader Party Airs (8 to 11) appeared to have plenty to do approaching the straight. But it was simply a case of pilot Paul Carberry employing the waiting tactics he's famed for. Dermot Weld's runner made rapid strides to dispute between the last two, though he had to be driven out to account for the rallying Firando by a length-and-a-half.

Christy Roche was expected to double up in the Rock Of Cashel Hurdle when his Silver Steel was despatched a short-priced 4 to 6 favourite. But despite getting the better of exchanges in the air at the last, he couldn't hold off the determined late surge of Ruby Walsh on Azur Tonic.
