Glens Melody quickened up in good style to take the fillies bumper at Punchestown.

Katie Walsh's mount swept past stable-mate Tasitiocht inside the final furlong as Willie Mullins saddled a one-two in the concluding contest.

Tasitiocht had hit the front early in the straight but had no answer when passed in the closing stages.

"She's a half-sister to (Listed hurdle winner) Ceol Rua. She's a strong filly and obviously handles that ground," said Mullins afterwards.

The Closutton handler, who sent out three newcomers in the race, also saddled the fourth placed horse Chiltern Hills .

It was a double on the day for Mullins, following the earlier victory of Hurricane Fly , and his ninth in total this week.
