< Annie Power picked up ample compensation for her last-flight fall at the Cheltenham Festival as she toyed with her rivals in landing the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Champion Hurdle at Punchestown on the final day of the season.

Sent off the 2-9 favourite for the Grade One event following her Mares' Hurdle mishap, the Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old was sent straight to the front by Ruby Walsh and travelled easily before quickening clear on the run to the final obstacle.

The owner's other victory came via Enda Bolger's 2-1 favourite Josies Orders who had no luck when unseating in the La Touche Cup but burst clear to win the Bo
