Jockey Danny Mullins completed a treble at Tipperary, completing the feat in the Ballykisteen Hurdle on the John Ryan trained front-runner Fairyhill Run
The daughter of Mahler held off runner-up Macgiloney in the closing stages to record a third career win, from 26 starts.
Ryan later stated “she is a savage mare and any time she was beaten it was my own fault.
