Gavin Cromwell completed a treble on the card at Punchestown this afternoon when On My Bike stormed home to claim the second division of the two-and-a-half mile handicap hurdle.

Keith Donoghue, bagging a double for himself, got a great tune out of the Gatewood gelding in the closing stages.

The 9/2 co-favourite led on the run-in to post a convincing two-and-three-quarter length win over Warmer Days Ahead

“He's been a hard horse to figure about but I suppose a bit of nicer ground has probably been key to him,” said Cromwell.

“We'll keep him going now anyway. We'll see what the handicapper does and it'll be more of the same.”
