Norman Willimason enjoyed a profitable weekend back in Ireland with four winners, a double on Saturday at Navan being followed by two more at Punchestown this afternoon.
Successful for Edward O`Grady twice at Navan, Williamson was back in the winner`s enclosure at Punchestown when 10-1 chance Feathered Leader came back to form in the Masterchefs Hurdle for local trainer Arthur Moore.
Williamson had won on Feathered Leader over fences at the Punchestown Festival in May, and the horse travelled strongly for him on his return to the smaller obstacles this afternoon to hit the front close home.
'He just got into the race because he had won less than IR#17,000 over hurdles,' said Moore.
'He will probably go back over fences, possibly in the Thomas Pink Chase at Cheltenham next month and then perhaps over two miles and six furlongs around Liverpool (in the Becher Chase).'
Williamson also came fast and late at the finish of the Beechwood Handicap Hurdle to complete his 142-1 double on Lisard River, owned and trained in Kerry by Tom Cooper.
