Jockey Adrian Heskin completed a double at Fairyhouse today when steering the Pat Neville trained Rightville Boy to win the E75 Arkle Package On Easter Monday Novice Handicap Hurdle.

The son of Cloudings led from four out and was kept going by Heskin for a length and a half win over Drive On Locky

Neville was on leading-up duties and wasn't available for comment but the win moved Heskin, who partnered a Cheltenham winner on A New Story, on to the 20 winner mark for the season.
