Robinnia impresses Townend with clear victory
Robinnia wins as she pleases

Willie Mullins' Robinnia rewarded those that played the 1/2 odds in the mares' maiden hurdle at Punchestown.
She tracked Highstreet Roller and was on her shoulder when fluffing the second last to land flatfooted for a stride or two.
However, she was soon back on the bridle and readily claimed the leader off the home bend TO move clear before the last.
She favourite eased home on the run-in by 12 lengths from Conquering Tara (25/1). Chenery was another three lengths back in third at 33/1.
“She settled a bit better today, she was very free and gassy with David (Mullins) the last day,” said Paul Townend.
“She jumped very well, if they were all that straightforward it would be grand.
“They'll have good fun with her. She probably wants that nice ground, it's beautiful jumping ground out there and they've done a great job.”
