Robbie Power grabbed a double at Clonmel this afternoon when All The Chimneys justified favourtism in the Jossesstown Handicap Chase.

Willie Austin 's charge switched back to fences today having been in fine form over timber before the turn of the year.

Power produced his mount to lead going to the second last in the two-miler and he kept on well in the closing stages. Perfect Leader ran on on the run-in but could only get within three-parts-of-a-length of the winner.

"He needs a good man on anyway! He has never run a bad race here and we're very happy with him,” said Austin.

"None of our horses were running well last year but thankfully we have them back. He is after staying in great form

"He'll stay at fences for this year now and will find a similar one in a fortnight or three week's time next."
