The Birdie Crowe finished with a flourish in Punchestown to take the bumper for Jessica and Kate Harrington.

She was fifth a furlong out but was soon switched to the inner rail when third and came through to overhaul Triolet (25/1) by three parts of a length close home. Broken Soul 3/1 joint favourite, was a close-up third. He was beaten a length and a quarter by the 8/1 winner (backed in from 10s).

“It's a Leigh family horse so it's absolutely fantastic and it's great for them,” Jessica Harrington said.

“She just got bogged down in Navan. I was a bit worried the ground would be a bit quick today.”

This gave Jessica Harrington a Punchestown double as she won the two mile handicap chase with Mr Fiftyone
