Ruby Walsh completed a double at Sligo this afternoon when Sherco Sports claimed the second division of the two-and-a-half mile handicap hurdle.

Michael Hourigan 's charge powered home on the run-in to land the spoils under a strong drive.

The Fruits Of Love mare was going away in the closing stages to record a three-length victory over Pennys Tune

Hourigan wasn't at the track to welcome in his 12/1 winner, who had been well behind when unseating at the last on her previous start at Ballinrobe.
