Icare Desbois led home a Willie Mullins 1-2-3 in the Tattersalls Ireland George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse.
It all got a bit tight at one stage with plenty of scrimmaging among the runners but Jody Townend brought her horse with a strong run down the outside to quicken away from the opposition.
Stablemate Lecky Watson kept on strongly to take second place under Patrick Mullins, while the third stable representative Dr Eggman was just behind under Pat Taaffe.
Willie Mullins, “All four ran well and they all look nice racehorses.
“The first two were the best two at home and the second was a bit unlucky in running.
“Jody has a great record. She keeps it simple and doesn’t interfere with the horse. She lets them gallop and they go.
"When the first few got beaten in Cork earlier I thought it's going to be one of those days but it's turned out a very good day.”
