The Willie Austin trained All The Chimneys gained a third win of the year, and his career, in the Easter Festival Tickets Online Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse today, winning for this third time over today’s two miles trip and also again under jockey Eamonn Corbett

Each of the son of Bach’s wins have been gained by less than a length. He won by a neck, from a rating of 80, at Cork in March, then followed up with a half length win, from 90, at Navan in April and today battled gamely for a three parts of a lengths success, from his revised mark of 96.

Following the race Austin stated “he will probably go to Limerick over Christmas. He always travels well but was not getting home over longer trips last season.

"He's also well handicapped over fences and jumps well."
