Hollowgraphic provided Willie Mullins with his fourth success of the day, as he ran out an easy winner of the concluding race at Punchestown, the Old House, Kill (Pro/Am) Flat Race.
A good second in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper over the course and distance in April, the son of Beat Hollow was expected to go one place better this afternoon, going off the clear 8/11 favourite (from 11/10 last night).
Settled in mid-division by Patrick Mullins, he improved into a closer third with five furlongs left to race. He came through to lead two furlongs out, and soon put the race to bed, going on to score easily by thirteen lengths. Dunvegan (5/1) filled the runner-up spot under Conor Fahy for his father Pat, while Not Many Left (14/1) was another eighteen lengths back in third for Kate and Jessica Harrington.
Mullins who was earlier successful with Getabird Un De Sceaux and Fabulous Saga said afterwards: "He looks the real deal. He's a fine looking horse and is by the right sire in Beat Hollow. He looks like he could be a Cheltenham bumper horse.
"It isn't the sort of ground you would pick to run horses on but he just galloped away through it like he's a decent horse.
"I'll probably run him again as he's very laid back and another run might not do him any harm. It's a long way to March."
