Review fairyhouse 15th Apr

< Moskova came from last to first to complete a hat-trick in the Ashbourne Mares' Chase at Fairyhouse.

The 6-4 favourite made progress on the leaders towards the home turn and jumped in front at the last.

She kept on well for Davy Russell to beat Laetitia by three and a half lengths.

"We'll have a look at Punchestown now and while there is a three-mile chase there for her, it is a Grade One race and we may be aiming a bit too high," said trainer Paul Nolan.

"She has had a great season and we are delighted with her."< Whispering Hills could also be Punchestown-bound after giving trainer Dessie Hughes his 50th winner of the season in the Dunshaughlin INH Flat Race.

The 6-4 favourite, ridden by 7lb-claiming amateur Paddy Kennedy, got up in the dying strides to pip St Devote

"He might take his chance in the champion bumper and I'd like a fast-run race. He's a honest, laid-back sort," said the Kildare handler.< New Phase comfortably landed the odds for trainer Dermot Weld in the colours of his son Kris in the Ballyhack Maiden Hurdle.

The 4-5 shot, ridden by 3lb claimer Robbie McNamara, stayed on strongly to win by nine lengths after leading between the last two flights.

Kris Weld said: "New Phase couldn't have done it any easier today and we'll try to find something at the Punchestown Festival now.

"It is nice to get a winner for the yard as we had three seconds but no winners over the Easter period."< Jaamid who unseated Paul Carberry in the Jewson Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last month in which the jockey was injured, made amends with a smooth victory in the Broad Meadow Beginners Chase.

The 4-5 favourite, trained by Noel Meade, led after the fourth-last with Carberry back on board and came home seven lengths clear of Tahitien Fix

Meade said: "Jaamid will go to Punchestown and then have a break - we may then train him for the Galway Plate."

Paddy Flood made it 54 wins in his best-ever season when partnering the Hughes-trained Erritt Lake (4-1) to victory in the Ratoath Maiden Hurdle.
