The He’llberemembered Hurdle was the feature on Thursday’s card in Thurles and French Dynamite made a fine return to action for Mouse Morris.

The second winner of the afternoon for rider Darragh O’Keeffe and owners Robcour, the seven-year-old was having his first run over hurdles in almost a year and a half but made light of the task with an all-the-way victory.
