Redwood Queen (7/2 fav) gained her second win in four days and completed a hat-trick when easily landing the Southern Waste Management Mares Handicap Hurdle for trainer Charles, owner Cathal and rider Philip Byrnes.
A winner at Downpatrick on May 10th and at Tramore on Friday evening, the daughter of Mahler was dropped out in rear before making smooth headway to lead before two out and she bounded clear to beat It'sallabouteve by four and three quarter lengths.
"There is two types of ground and he kept her to the outside rail," said Charles Byrnes.
"Philip had ridden in the earlier races and the previous winner also came up the outside as well.
"She is thriving, has found form and did it well today. We'll keep going as far as she goes and find something in three or four weeks."
