Roseys Hollow (17/2) sealed another Grade 3 for trainer Jonathan Sweeney's with victory in the mares' novice hurdle at Fairyhouse.

In a hot renewal of this two and a quarter mile race, she was on the heels of the leaders at the third last and got a split on the rail entering the straight.

She was tanking along for Mark Walsh and led narrowly at the second last from 11/10 favourite Royal Kahala Gauloise looked a danger on the outer as Roseys Hollow was ridden to try and get the better of Royal Kahala before the last.

She jumped that flight well and Walsh was soon in the drive position. His mount kept finishing on the rail and showed her mettle to beat the favourite by two lengths.

Gauloise (11/4) couldn't get on terms and had to settle for third, a further length and a half away.

"She did that nicely so it's great to step up again today. I couldn't be happier,” said Sweeney.

“It looked to be a very strong field. Today was the plan and we'll take one day at a time, I'll have a chat with Frank (Berry, racing manager) and see what they put together.

“You'd be always hoping to have one like that. That's my third Grade 3 win with a mare and my third runner in a Grade 3.

“Minutestomidnight won the mares bumper at Punchestown and Barnahash Rose won the Shannon Spray Hurdle in Limerick.”

Roseys Hollow also has a ladies' bumper in her locker in addition to a mares' maiden hurdle victory over a similar trip at this track last month.

Paddy Power make Roseys Hollow 6/1 joint favourite (from 20/1) for the Daylesford Mares' Novices' Hurdle - non runner no bet - at the Cheltenham Festival.
