Redhotfillypeppers made all to give Willie Mullins a treble on the card at Punchestown today.
Owner/rider David Dunsdon bounced out in front on the 11/10 favourite and she found plenty from the last to record a cosy eight length success in the two-mile six contest.
Market rival Castafiore Park (5/4) tried to throw down a challenge turning for home but Redhotfillypeppers quickened away again on the run-in to post a commanding success.
The winner has taken a bumper at the track back in December 2016 and had been placed on her last two outings over timber. She had been easy to back in the morning from 9/10 out to 2/1 but was supported again from 13/8 on course.
"The extra trip suited her, and she jumped well today and stayed on really well,” said Mullins.
“She'll probably go now for the Shannon Spray Mares Hurdle over this trip at Limerick (March 18).
"David won a bumper on her here before and he's also a past winner of the Fegentri Series."
