Rock's Field scores for Hughes/Cooper

Trainer Dessie Hughes and jockey Bryan Cooper combined to win the Festival Any Day Flexi Ticket Mares Maiden Hurdle at Punchestown today with Rock's Field

Cooper had the daughter of Presenting to the fore throughout and in the end the pair passed the post two and a quarter lengths ahead of Kymin's Way

Afterwards Hughes stated “the visor helped Rock's Field today as the last day she didn't want to race for whatever reason. She was left well behind then although she finished running on well.

“She carried Bryan much better with the visor on today and he kept her wide as the ground has got quite chopped up.”
