Leopardstown Results: Monksland wins for Meade

Noel Meade was in luck as Monksland took the three-mile hurdle at Leopardstown

Monksland gained his revenge over the favourite Zaidpour with success in the woodiesdiy.com Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown...

Noel Meade's five-year-old overturned a defeat in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse with the help of a 2lb pull over Willie Mullins' runner.

Whatuthink set out to make all the running and held a big advantage at one stage.

However, he was swallowed up before the final flight where Zaidpour jumped into the lead, but Paul Carberry delivered Monksland with a perfectly-timed challenge on the far side to swoop for a two-and-a-half length success.
