Loughrea follows up at Leopardstown

Loughrea followed up his Curragh success with victory in the 18:35 Dublin To Bahrain Handicap at Leopardstown on Thursday (1m, €25,000), winning at 10/3 with Andrew Slattery in the saddle. In a tactical six-runner affair, Loughrea saw off Aviatrice by half a length, with the 11/8 favourite How'sthebai back in third for owner Mrs C Holohan. A second win in three weeks for the Elzaam gelding — and a trainer-ridden winner to boot.
