Rachael Blackmore returned from injury with a winner on Put The Kettle On to give Henry de Bromhead a double in Downpatrick.

The well backed 13/8 favourite kept it simple off the front in this extended two and a quarter mile mares' handicap hurdle.

Dollys Destination served it up to her at the second last but the favourite readily moved clear on the run-in to post a seven-length success.

Dolly's Destination had to settle for second at 9/2.

Rachael Blackmore said: "It's very nice to be back. Henry's horses are on fire at the minute, so it's great to get back on.

"It has been a tough few weeks watching!"

Blackmore had been on the sidelines since a fall at Clonmel in mid-May, before returning to the saddle in Downpatrick yesterday.

de Bromhead took the preceding race on the card with Game Present , ridden by Hugh Morgan.
