Vandemere in Aintree shop window after smart win for James and Doyle

Rob James and the Doyle brothers left the popular County Derry venue with a treble, which included both divisions of the Dennison Commercials maiden for four-year-olds.

The winner, a €50,000 Land Rover Sale purchase, will now go back under the hammer at tomorrow’s Goffs UK Aintree Sale.
