Bedrock trained in Scotland by Iain Jardine, made a successful raid at Tipperary when landing the Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle in fine style.

The dual-purpose gelding, last seen in Ireland when a gallant fourth behind Sharjah in the Galway Hurdle, was recording his seventh victory under both codes in this Grade 3 event.

Rachael Blackmore ’s mount quickened up well early in the straight and went clear before a slight mistake at the final flight.

It made little difference however as the 12/1 chance stayed on well to beat Plinth by four and a half lengths, with 5/6 favourite Wicklow Brave another three quarters of a length back in third.

Blackmore was completing a mixed double on the afternoon having earlier won the juvenile maiden on Micro Manage

She said, "He had a very good run in the Galway Hurdle and it was a good performance today. He was a little bit in my hands but got the job done and Iain had him spot on for the day."
