Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh took the honours at Gowran as they teamed up for a short-priced double with easy winners Enterprise Park and Doctor Deejay

The treble was completed by former point-to-pointer Don't Turn Bach, who made all the running when successful by five and a half lengths in the Golf Membership (Pro-Am) INH Flat Race.

There was a dramatic finish to the second division of the maiden hurdle with Gallant Light (5-2) landing the spoils after Taking Stock slipped up on the run-in when a length behind.

"He's just taken a long time to come right. He was hobdayed before he ever ran and had another wind op in the spring," said winning trainer Jessica Harrington.
