Voix Du Reve pops the last in Killarney© Photo Healy Racing
Odds-on-favourite Voix Du Reve enjoyed a facile victory in the six runner Kelly Brothers Sliabh Luachra Hurdle at Killarney.
David Mullins kept it simple on the Willie Mullins trained six-year-old gelding as the pair made every yard and availed of a drop in class in this two and a half mile contest.
They had all their rivals off the bridle turning in and moved clear two out. The gallop was maintained to the line as they scored by 13 lengths at 8/11. Noble Inn (20/1) won the race for second.
David Mullins said: "He is a decent horse and has been dropped out his whole life but maybe we've been riding him wrong.
"He nearly won the Fred Winter (in 2016) but fell at the last when Ruby dropped him out and it seemed to work, but maybe we've been riding him wrong since.
"He has grown and seems well able to stay. He has a high knee action but goes on that and probably goes on any ground."
