Ruby Walsh was in double-winning form at Tramore, culminating in Old Castletown s success in the Heinz Pollmeier Memorial Handicap Chase.

After tracking Illtakeitfromhere for much of the final circuit, Ted Walsh's 2-1 chance jumped the second last upsides and ran on strongly to beat Indian Temple by three and a half lengths.

Walsh's double was started when Upazo returned to form with a battling display in the Comeragh Veterinary, Kilmacthomas Chase.

Willie Mullins' 7-4 favourite was off the bridle earlier than closest rival Usuel Smurfer but he found more up the run-in to score.

Mullins grabbed a double of his own when his son Patrick guided 4-5 favourite Pearl Diamond to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race.< Collen Beag continued his love affair with the Festival when landing the Richard Power Private Client Betting Handicap Hurdle.

A winner at the meeting on Friday under Johnny Burke, David O'Brien's 4-1 chance battled bravely for Burke, holding the finish of Do Na Paisti by half a length.< Cillian's Well ran out a convincing winner of the Tramore Amusement Park Maiden Hurdle.

Taking up the running at the second-last under Mikey Fogarty, Liz Doyle's 10-1 chance bounded nine lengths clear of Free Scorpion and Sam King who dead-heated for second.< Shouband opened his account with a battling success in the Phillip Carroll Memorial Maiden Hurdle.

John Morrison's 5-4 favourite travelled menacingly into contention before the third last under Paddy Mangan and hit the front before the final flight, before beating Victoryrowe by three-quarters of a length.

John Kiely's Master Appeal produced a gutsy display to land the Frank Gillane Memorial Handicap Hurdle.

Always to the fore under Andrew Lynch, the 6-1 chance could not quite shrug off the attentions of May Dullea close home, but stuck to his task well to score by a neck.
