Amy races ahead in Punchestown style stakes

A butterfly flutters its wings and a tree falls, or in this case, a water pipe bursts on a bank holiday Friday and in Punchestown the chosen 10 for the Land Rover Most Stylish Award are forced to endure an anxious wait for Amy Huberman to arrive with the prize.

The actress and author held the keys to a Range Rover Evoque in her stylish bag, but her transport was caught upin the chaos on the N7.

An obliging garda was dispatched to rescue her.
