The Tom Mullins trained Oscar Dan Dan ran out a 2 ? length victory of the The Punchestown Even Centre Maiden Hurdle under Robert Power in the colours of Paul Duffin.

Mullins commented afterwards, "Thought we'd win a winners bumper last year but he didn't. That was a good performance and 2 ? miles looks to obvious step now. Over hurdles he could be one of top this year. He should improve from this and we'll take our time with him."
