Review punchestown 13th Jan
Willie Mullins secured a big-race double at Punchestown when Getabird ran out a comprehensive winner of the Grade Two Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle.
The Rich Ricci-owned six-year-old maintained his unbeaten record from the front under Patrick Mullins, keeping all rivals at bay and stretching well clear of Mengli Khan after the last, scoring by nine lengths.< Invitation Only put in a really solid round of jumping to land Grade Three honours in the Total Event Rental (Kildare) Novice Chase.
David Mullins was happy to make all on the Willie Mullins-trained 5-4 favourite and though stablemate Koshari got close to him at the last, Invitation Only picked up the gallop again to score by two and a half lengths.< Relegate (13-8 favourite) provided Willie Mullins with a treble and his son Patrick a double when he landed the David Trundley Artist At Punchestown Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race.< Glencairn View battled gamely to take the Connolly's Red Mills Amateur National Handicap Chase.
Tony Mullins' 4-1 joint-favourite was in the front rank a long way out under Liam Quinlan and appeared to be headed after the last by Toubaloo but he fought back bravely to score by a length and three quarters.
Jessica Harrington's Impact Factor justified 4-7 favouritism with an all-the-way success in the sportinglife.com Maiden Hurdle.
The six-year-old was second to Getabird on his previous start and readily dispatched his rivals under Robbie Power, making every yard and pulling a length and a quarter clear of Eagle Lion at the line.< Bilbo Bagins (9-2) defied top weight to land an incident-packed Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase for trainer Adrian Murray and jockey Paddy Kennedy.
Roger Loughran's decision to push Tom Foley's Goaheadmakemyday (4-1) clear on the turn for home worked well as she kept on to land the Leinster Leader Mares Handicap Hurdle.
