Jade De Grugy bounced back from a first career defeat at the Cheltenham Festival to claim an appropriate success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Honeysuckle Mares' Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse.

The five-year-old was beaten four lengths into fourth place when well fancied for the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle in the Cotswolds two and a half weeks ago and lined up back on home soil as one of 10 runners for Willie Mullins in this Grade One contest.
