Stormy Ireland made a successful second debut for Willie Mullins in the Grade Two Underwriting Exchange Hurdle.

She failed to win in four starts in Britain, but having since been sold to new owners for £75,000, she was a 7-2 chance on her first start since returning to the Mullins yard.

There was nothing unusual about Denise Sneezy Foster watching the Close Brothers Mares Hurdle on a couch in the sitting room of her County Meath home. She has done that for the last couple of years. What was unusual was the fact that she trained the winner and was uncorking a bottle of Taittinger afterwards.
It has been a whirlwind week for 67-year-old Foster. She took charge of Cullentra House last Tuesday as Gordon Elliott began a six-month suspension for bringing racing into disrepute and Black Tears provided her with a first festival winner after a thrilling tussle with the odds-on favourite Concertista.
