Ardera Ru in charge at Fairyhouse© Photo Healy Racing
Impressive Fairyhouse winner Ardera Ru has Punchestown as her next target.
Eoin Doyle's nine-year-old mare powered home by almost four lengths in a Listed mares' handicap chase over Easter which has the trainer eyeing an end of season contest.
He said: "She's a great mare. I'd say she might go to Punchestown, there's a big handicap chase there. There used to be a mares' one there and that's the one she would probably go for.
"She's a consistent mare and ran a good race in Gowran (pulled up on penultimate start) - she was running away at the second-last and she kind of stopped and didn't find anything, so we got her palate cauterised.
"It obviously improved her again. It was great to get black-type for her (at Fairyhouse) and it has been a good week."
Ardera Ru has won twice over fences in addition to a couple of handicap hurdles.
Doyle also saddled Moondharrig to win in Dundalk last Friday.
