Mark Walsh and Francis Flood recorded a quick double when Slievecorragh ran out an easy winner of the Richard Browne & Sons Ltd Hurdle.
Walsh who made all the running aboard the Celtic Swing gelding were clear from Vital Plot from over two out and kept on strongly for a nine length victory.
Winning trainer Flood said afterwards: "He got a nice free lead today. We'll go for another hurdle and we'll see from there."
