Willie Mullins, on the mark at the track on Saturday with One Night Out, landed another valuable novice event when Boneyarrow took the 2m4f Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon.
The winner made virtually all the running and drew clear from the last to score in fine style from Takagi and Take Five.
Mullins said, 'Both One Night Out and Boneyarrow will be kept apart but will run in staying novice races at the festivals here and at Fairyhouse'.
essica Harrington's Spirit Leader, a runner-up on each of her last six starts, proved too strong for much touted newcomer Dalampour in the opening Maiden Hurdle.
Barry Geraghty had the well supported 9/4 chance in front going to the last and was always holding the favourite on the run to the line. The winner is another heading for the Fairyhouse and Punchestown festivals.
Gary Hutchinson, a month short of his 22nd birthday, landed the first double of his career and brought his season's tally to nine when sharing winners with his boss Ted Walsh.
The young Tramore man was seen to good effect when he got 8/1 chance Native Leisure up to win by just a head from Quality First in the 2m4f Handicap Hurdle.
He had a much easier time in the very next race when Some Buzz landed quite a gamble (6/1-7/2f) and gave the handicapper plenty to think about when running out a facile five length winner in the 2m Handicap Hurdle.
Only four managed to finish in the marathon 3m4f Handicap Chase with Wolsely Lord coming home a 25 length winner for Dessie Hughes and Kieran Kelly.
Woodenbridge Natif, sent off a well-supported favourite, was pulled up between the final two fences and was found to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection.
The Hughes and Kelly combination were back in the winners' enclosure after their 16/1 chance What's The Score ran out the surprise winner of the Beginners Chase.
Frezenium stayed on well to take second place with favourite Kimberley only third.
Honest Yer Honour, trained locally by Robert Osborne, ran out the game winner of the bumper, comfortably beating odds-on favourite Multeen River to give Davy Maher his second winner.
