< Up For Review advertised his Cheltenham Festival claims when making all with ease in the Dorans Pride Novice Hurdle at Punchestown.
An impressive winner on his hurdling bow last month, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding was soon out in front under Ruby Walsh in the Grade Two contest and nothing landed a serious blow thereafter.< Jetstream Jack emerged as the only danger to the winner but 4-5 favourite stretched 13 lengths clear of Gordon Elliott's runner in effortless fashion.
That completed a double for the Champion trainer after his Pleasant Company (11-8fav) made a winning start over fences as he saw off the challenge of Montys Meadow by two and a quarter lengths in the Buy Your 2016 Annual Membership Beginners Chase.< Noble Emperor (11-8fav) bounced back from a fall at Limerick on Sunday with a victory in the Free Festival Upgrade Ticket Offer Hurdle.< Seabass led them into the home straight but Tony Martin's charge powered past the veteran approaching the last and pulled three lengths clear under Barry Geraghty on the run in.< Jazz Ranger left previous form well behind when springing a 16-1 surprise in the Festival Hospitality On Sale 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle, staying on well to beat Best Kept Secret by two lengths.
Pleasant Company made a winning start over fences as the 11-8 favourite saw off the challenge of Montys Meadow by two and a quarter lengths in the Buy Your 2016 Annual Membership Beginners Chase< Rolling Rocket (11-4fav) survived a mistake at the last fence to land the Goffs Punchestown Invitational Sale Handicap Chase by three-quarters of a length, while Oscar Sam (11-8fav) completed a hat-trick with a dominant four-length victory over Pass The Hat in the Buy Your Tickets Online At www.punchestown.com Handicap Hurdle.
The winning favourites continued as Ice Cool (evens) touched off Mista Wabbit Man by half a length in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle, but there was a 33-1 surprise in the closing Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race as Gold Doubloons beat Seeking Susan b
