Double for owner Barry Connell© Photo Healy Racing
Alan Fleming and owner Barry Connell registered a quick double when the well-backed All You Need claimed the Palmerstown House Estate Handicap Hurdle at Naas.
The mare had traded at 6/1 this morning but was sent off 5/2 favourite on course.
Donagh Meyler made the running on the French-bred and she galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a five-and-a-half length victory.
"She was probably a little bit weak and we were riding her wrong last season," said Fleming.
"In Navan we made more use of here and gave her more light. David Mullins rode her that day and said it was the way to ride her from then on.
"She had been bitterly disappointing in Thurles.
"Upping her in trip and a bit of softer ground will do her good and she could be nice in the future."
Connections had also claimed the preceding beginners chase with the Adrian Heskin-ridden Velvet Maker
