Henry de Bromhead completed a quickfire double at Leopardstown as Paloma Blue landed the Thorntons Recycling Maiden Hurdle.

The 4/1 chance travelled well to lead approaching the final hurdle, and kept on well under Davy Russell to beat Impact Factor by two lengths.

The pair stretched right away in the closing stages with Grotesque a further 15 lengths away in third.

There was drama earlier in the two-mile event as 5/4 favourite Quick Grabim fell at the second, while an enquiry was called after Canardier was badly hampered after two out.

The places remained unaltered after the stewards enquiry.

De Bromhead, who also won the opener with 50/1 chance Ellie Mac said, “I probably got it wrong, the trip, for his first run in Naas as he was a bit fresh. We came back to two (miles) and he looked very green the last day.

“He’s still a big baby and has taken a lot of work in the last few weeks and has gone from strength to strength.

“I’m delighted to get a winner here for Chris (Jones, owner) and his family. I hope he’s a Graded horse and possibly we’ll aim at the new Festival weekend back here in February.”
