Double for barry Geraghty at Fairyhouse

Drumree man Barry Geraghty was in double form at his local Fairyhouse track today with owner JP McManus providing the ammunition via trainers Gordon Elliott and Christy Roche.

The Roche-trained Falcon Crest was well backed to win the maiden hurdle after finishing second and fourth in bumpers last November and December.

The Geraghty/McManus combination was also successful with Squouateur in a maiden hurdle to maintain the Longwood-based trainer's good strike-rate.

Another Meath jockey, Robbie Power was on the mark also when he guided the Paul Nolan-trained Solita to victory in beginners chase
