Review thurles 22nd Dec

< So Young won as he was entitled to in the Horse And Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Thurles.

Rated 26lb higher than his closest rival in the four-runner field, Willie Mullins' charge supplemented his Punchestown comeback win with an effortless success over the minmum trip.

With stamina assured, Ruby Walsh sent the 1-8 favourite into a clear lead from the off and he barely came out of second gear to cruise home sixth lengths to the good over Noras Fancy

The David O'Brien-trained Is Herself About (1-2) also justified skinny odds with the minimum of fuss in the Gift Horse Gallery & Jockey Hotel Mares Hurdle.

She pulled her way to the front approaching the fourth last and survived a mistake two-out to seal a 21-length win over Taralga

Paddy Mangan and Quarryvale led them a merry dance in the Gift Horse Gallery Horse & Jockey Hotel Handicap Chase.

Jumping fluently in front, the Jimmy Mangan-trained 4-1 favourite kept up the gallop and although eventual runner-up Barneys Honour went in pursuit three out, he was 25 lengths adrift as the winner coasted past the line.

Timothy Doyle's Jolily (7-1) defied the burden of top weight to land the Molony Cup Handicap Chase.

The nine-year-old filled the runner-up spot twice at this course in November and deservedly went one place better with a two-length triumph over Cochise < Lookoutnow showed tremendous courage to make all in the Exit 6 To The Horse & Jockey Novice Handicap Hurdle.

Michael Butler looked a sitting duck turning in on the Eoin Doyle inmate, with Rockyaboya seemingly ready to pounce, but the 7-2 chance pulled out more to beat the favourite by a length and three quarters.

The INH Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle went to Archie Meade (4-1), who dug deep in the rain-soaked conditions to beat Jack Bene by two and a quarter lengths.
