Willie Mullins and Paul Townend doubled-up with odds-on favourites Kiss Will and Fishery Lane in Thursday’s maiden hurdle action in Fairyhouse, their brace matched by Philip Rothwell and Tiernan Power Roche, who struck with Workinonadream and Duffys Hodey.
Fifth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but turned over on his hurdling bow, Fishery Lane (10-11 favourite) made a lot of the running and dug deep to see off Grimaud in the Jump Into January Maiden Hurdle, ultimately scoring by four and a half lengths.
