Mark Walsh bagged a double at Punchestown when driving Any Second Now to victory in the Grade Two Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle.

Willie Mullins had farmed the contest in recent years with the likes of Douvan, Vautour and Min, and his odds-on favourite Crack Mome looked set for victory when edging ahead of Runfordave approaching the last.

Both those horses made slight mistakes at the final flight, though, allowing Ted Walsh's 6-1 chance to get on terms and he finished well for Mark Walsh to score by a length and a quarter from the market leader.

Walsh also struck when Joseph O'Brien's Edwulf proved too strong for his rivals in the sportinglife.com Beginners Chase.

Cheltenham Festival winner Mall Dini took up the running with almost a full circuit to travel, but Edwulf travelled well in behind as they turned for home, before making his bid at the last.

The 9-2 favourite jumped it well and kept on well to keep Bachasson at bay, eventually prevailing by a length and three-quarters.

After suffering defeats with Crack Mome and Bachasson, Willie Mullins again had to settle for second in the David Trundley Artist At Punchestown Maiden Hurdle as his Kolumbus was beaten by Noel Meade's Gunnery Sergeant (13-8) under Sean Flanagan.

Derek O'Connor bagged his second victory in a row in the Connollys Red Mills Amateur National For The Conyngham Cup Handicap Chase when guiding the veteran Canaly to victory.

O'Connor kept Sandra Hughes' 16-1 chance wide for much of the final circuit and flew the last to get the better of He Rock's by four lengths.< Tulpar (16-1) just prevailed in a thrilling battle with I'm An Izz Wizz to land the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase for trainer Patrick Neville and jockey Ryan Treacy.

Katie O'Farrell missed out on I'm An Izz Wizz, but she made no mistake in the Visit www.punchestown.com Mares Handicap Hurdle, bringing Gordon Elliott's Definite Ruby (20-1) with a withering late run to beat favourite Mill Quest by half a length.
