Willie Mullins delivered a treble for owner JP McManus in Fairyhouse, scoring with novice chasers Sa Majeste and Zenta, plus the maiden hurdle success of Karoline Banbou.
Seven-year-old Sa Majeste, dropping in class and positively ridden by Paul Townend, landed the featured Fairyhouse Easter Festival 19th-21st April Rated Chase but was a fortunate scorer as he looked held by Affordale Fury when that rival blundered badly at the final fence before rallying on the run-in and going down by three-quarters of a length.
