< Hurricane Fly is used to breaking records, but he added another when beating Istabraq's record to land his fifth straight BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Willie Mullins' star looked in trouble at the end of the back straight, with Ruby Walsh forced to scrub him along, while Jezki travelled easily into the lead.

The indomitable Hurricane Fly got on terms approaching the last, where Jezki made an error, allowing the 11-10 favourite to come home three and a half lengths in front of Arctic Fire

Mullins and Walsh also struck with Un De Sceaux who was simply sublime in landing the Frank Ward Solicitors Irish Arkle.

Walsh never let the 8-11 favourite get too far clear early on, and that tactic paid dividends as he blew away Clarcam on the home turn and completed an excellent round of jumping to score with any amount in hand.

Mullins landed a third success when Outlander scorched clear to land the Nathaniel Lacy And Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle under Paul Townend.

The 5-1 chance was outbattled by Martello Tower when they met over three miles last time, but turned the tables over this shorter trip, coming three and a quarter lengths clear of Mags Mullins' charge.< Prince Of Scars and Gladiator King were inseparable at the line in the Donohue Marquees Maiden Hurdle.

Tony McCoy looked hugely confident on 2-1 favourite Gladiator King as they edged ahead approaching the last, but a slight mistake allowed 12-1 chance Prince Of Scars to battle back on the inner under Bryan Cooper, with a dead-heat the resulting call.< Paddy O Dee may not have plotted the straightest path over his fences in the Sandyford Handicap Chase, but Philip Rothwell's 12-1 chance found plenty to score by three lengths from Rafi De Triana under Mark Enright.

Bryan Cooper's decision to go from the front on Bishops Road in the Racecourse Of The Year Handicap Hurdle paid dividends as the 2-1 chance fended off favourite Heathfield
