THE promising partnership of rider David Doyle and handler Sam Curling continued to develop at the Co Limerick Foxhounds’ fixture at Rathcannon on Sunday, where the duo continued in their recent rich vein of form to record a memorable treble. It also brought up a first career hat-trick for the Co Tipperary-born rider, as he continues to impress in the saddle.

Gowitdflow (4/5 – 1/1 favourite) kick-started proceedings for the pair in the opening four-year-old mares’ maiden, which saw a field of only three runners go to post.
