The double started when Fighting Days got up near the rail to run out a comfortable winner of the Workpal Handicap Hurdle.

John Barry was happy to be in the front rank from the outset on Karl Thornton's 4-6 favourite, and he overcame a sketchy jump two out with aplomb to beat Dove Mountain by 13 lengths.< Duckweed gave the in-form Jessica Harrington and Mark Bolger another winner when landing the Barclay Communication Mares Beginners Chase.
Always travelling well for Bolger, the even-money favourite went clear after the last and held Carole Rose by three lengths.

Denis Hogan's mount veered left at the last flight, appearing to impede Vote Of Confidence before veering right and squeezing up Clontarf (7-2) and jockey Keith Donohue close home (7-2), with the race being awarded to Dermot McLoughlin's charge.
