Point Of Light justified his short price in the opening New Ross Maiden Hurdle at Wexford with a cosy victory in the hands of Niall 'Slippers' Madden.

Paul Nolans charge took up the lead after the last and kept on strongly in the closing stages to post a two length victory over Fearnwood Girl

Winning jockey Madden said afterwards: "He jumped well on the whole, he got blinded at one or two."

"He's a lovely horse and he seemed to appreciate the better ground."
