Punters were off to a good start on Day two of Fairyhouse Easter Festival when 2/9 favourite Serpentaria won The Keelings Irish Strawberry Hurdle under Ruby Walsh.

Winning trainer Willie Mullins said afterwards, "She will now go for the Mares race at Punchestown. We'll put her back on the flat after that and target some of the bigger handicaps during the Summer. She hasn't had a hard season and she's very versatile and she stays."
