Unaccompanied triumphs at Leopardstown
Dermot Weld’s Unaccompanied grabbed Grade One glory in the Istabraq Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Paul Townend held last season’s Triumph Hurdle runner-up towards the back of the pack for much of the contest, but she made good headway into third before the turn for home.
Once Townend asked the 100-30 chance a question on the run to the final flight, she quickened up well, with a bold leap sealing a one-and-a-half-length victory.
Even-money favourite Thousand Stars was second.
