Robin delivers Gowran double for Walsh Little King Robin made it three in a row over flights with another dominant performance from the front under Mark Walsh who was bringing up a Gowran Park double in the Join Us Tomorrow For Racing Mares Hurdle. Walsh had an easy time of it in the first aboard Henry Higgins and he never saw another rival aboard Arklow-based Maria Kavanagh and her father Harry's King's Theatre mare in the two and a half mile contest. Her pursuers never really threatened to bridge the gap to the Colin Bowe-trained 3/1 chance and she eventually registered a fifteen length success from Clara Mc Cloud. Even money favourite Jennies Jewel finished three and three parts of a length back in third and there was twenty three lengths and more back to the rest. The Kavanagh's also bred this year's Cheltenham winner, Western Warhorse and Bowe revealed of Little King Robin: "She will go to Punchestown now for the Grabel. We had her off but we brought her back because the ground was so good. "She is only back in two weeks and we are very happy. She handled that well and it was probably her best run to date. She enjoys herself and loves racing and she is improving away. We don't do too much with her at home." (DM & EM)
