Martin and Walsh at the double

Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh landed a double at Bellewstown when Dream Champion obliged in division two of the three mile handicap hurdle.

The seven-year-old gelding slammed his opposition by ten lengths and justified favouritism at 15/8 in the process. The horse was following up on a recent Ballinrobe success.

Martin commented: "He's a tough little horse who is full of heart and bottle. He's entered at Galway on Sunday but won't go there now." Ahorsecalledmolly edged out Molly's bar by three parts of a length for second place. Ballochroy came home fourth.
